Introduction to Satellite TV, How Cable Television Works.

In this basic introduction to satellite TV (DIRECTV and Dish Network) we’ll look at how cable TV works. Television programmers sell the rights to broadcast their programming. Programmers send their programming via radio signal to satellites to be transmitted around the world. From the satellites the radio signals are sent to broadcast centers, in the case of cable television they are sent to the local head end (Local Broadcast Center) which processes the satellite signals to offer you the television programming you watch. Cable TV Companies then deliver these signals via the many miles of cable that are installed underground or on utility poles and delivered to your home for viewing.

How Satellite Television Works

Now in this introduction to satellite TV let’s look at how Satellite TV works. Satellite TV companies like Dish Network and DIRECTV; basically work in the same way. They buy the rights to broadcast programming just like cable TV companies. Television programmers send this programming by radio signal to satellites and from the satellites to broadcast centers just like cable TV. However, here’s where the similarities end. Unlike cable TV companies that have broadcast centers in most cities and towns, Satellite TV companies only have a couple of broadcast centers that re-transmit the radio signals to satellites positioned above the earth and from there send the radio signals to your home. No need to dig and destroy the environment or to cut down trees to run cable lines on utility poles.
