C- and Ku-band satellite services providing television, sound, video and data signals directly to home users. The signals are often encrypted, intended for reception by subscribers, requiring an IRD for reception.
A satellite television service that transmits directly to a home where it is picked up by a small receiving dish. DBS competes with cable systems.
A term commonly used to describe Ku-band broadcasts via satellite directly to individual end-users. The DBS band ranges from 11.7 to 12.75 GHz.
(DBS): A satellite designed with sufficient power that smaller earth stations can be used for direct on-site reception of signals.
A TV broadcast service from a small satellite dish antenna that offers similar services, like that of cable TV, and which transmits highly compressed digital signals.
Satellite service which can be received using an antenna on the subscriber's premises.
A satellite service whose signal is delivered directly to a viewer's home via the use of the viewer's own earth station dish. DBS is different from traditional satellite systems because they use a smaller more versatile dish to receive programming at higher frequencies (KU-Band).
a satellite designed with sufficient power so that inexpensive earth stations, or downlinks, can be used for direct residential reception.
DBS stands for "direct broadcast satellite", a type of satellite that sends a broadcast directly to your home dish.DBS is the signal frequency range (11.70-12.40ghz) intended for direct TV broadcast by satellite TV program providers.
A high-powered satellite that transmits or retransmits signals which are intended for direct reception by the public. The signal is transmitted to a small earth station or dish (usually the size of an 18-inch pizza pan) mounted on homes or other buildings.
High-powered satellite that uses a new Ku-band frequency (12.2 to 12.7 GHz) to deliver programming signals directly to small (18-inch) dishes installed at viewers' homes.
The signal frequency range (11.70-12.40ghz) intended for direct TV broadcast by satellite TV program providers. DISH Network, DirecTV and Pegasus are all DBS satellite TV systems. DSS: Digital Satellite System, also a common name used to refer to a DirecTV satellite system or component.
A technology that was introduced in 1994, it allows a household to receive 150 or more channels delivered digitally to a small dish on the side of a house or an apartment.
Satellites powerful enough to transmit a signal directly to a medium to small receiving dish (antenna). Dish sizes 50 to 75 cm. are common in this service. DBS does not require reception and distribution by an intermediate broadcasting facility, but transmits directly to the end user.
satellites the deliver a very powerful signal, typically movies and a selection of television and cable offerings to individuals that subscribe to a DBS company.
Service that uses satellites to broadcast multiple channels of television programming directly to home mounted small-dish antennas. Abbreviated DBS.
A service that transmits satellite signals directly to a home through the viewer's own earth station rather than a cable system. DirecTV is an example of a DBS service.
video programing transmited from a satellite directly to customers' receiving equipment.
High-powered satellites that can transmit or retransmit signals which are intended for direct reception by the public. The signal is transmitted to small and inexpensive earth stations or "dishes" mounted on homes or other buildings.
System for transmitting television signals via satellite to a receiving dish at the consumer's home.
Satellite which broadcasts directly to a subscriber's home dish antenna.
Satellite technology that transmits directly to the end user or customer. DBS describes a frequency allocation and wide spacing between satellites that generally permits higher-powered transmissions through the air to small 18- to 24-inch receiving facilities located on customer premises (“point-to-multipoint†transport). Also known as direct-to-home (DTH) satellite.
A high power, geosynchronous orbit satellite which transmits broadcast signals to be received by small antenna dishes attached to the home.
Direct broadcast satellite (DBS) is a term used to refer to satellite television broadcasts intended for home reception, also referred to as direct-to-home signals. It covers both analog and digital television and radio reception, and is often extended to other services provided by modern digital television systems, including video-on-demand and interactive features. A "DBS service" usually refers to either a commercial service, or a group of free channels available from one orbital position targeting one country.
