How Does DIRECTV Satellite TV Work?

DIRECTV satellites are placed into a geosynchronous orbit about 37,000 km (22,300 miles) above the earth and always remain above the same point on the earth's surface so that all DIRECTV dishes on the earth can be pointed at a fixed satellite location.

DIRECTV shows, movies, football, music, etc. are broadcast from an "uplink center" where programming from cable television networks and local programming from broadcast networks is collected and encrypted so that the programming cannot be intercepted by non-paying users. The uplink facility uses a dish that is 9 to 12 meters wide to accurately send a high-strength signal to the orbiting DIRECTV satellite.

The DIRECTV satellite converts the signal to a different microwave frequency band to ensure that the downlink to a subscriber's dish is not affected by uplink interference.

After traveling more than 50,000 miles, the DIRECTV signal reaches your dish on the outside of your home, office, or facility. The signal received is focused by a bowl-shaped parabolic dish onto a device in the center of the dish called a "feed horn", which channels the signal to a "low-noise block down-converter" (LNB) which filters out unwanted interference, and sometimes converts it to another frequency before amplifying it and sending it to the satellite receiver box located inside your house, office, or facility through a coaxial cable.

A DIRECTV satellite receiver box converts the signal to television, audio, and/or data signals and may be may be equipped to decrypt the coded signal itself. You may be supplied with a "smart card" as well to decode the signal.

DIRECTV receivers also include integrated digital video recorders (DVRs) that allow you to rewind and pause live television and to record and store shows on a built-in hard drive. In addition, DIRECTV receivers offer high-definition television (HDTV), pay-per-view events and movies, interactive television channels, and video-on-demand (VOD) channels.

 T3 Connection FAQ

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jan 6, 2009

A t3 connection is a point-to-point dedicated line that provides 672 64-Kbps voice or data channels or in other words 28 T1 lines. A T3 is used to transmit digital signals at 44.736 megabits per second and has enough bandwidth to transmit full-motion real-time video and very large databases over a busy network. A T3 line would be installed as a major networking channel for a large corporation or university with high volume network traffic.

When you need more capacity, you often have to buy it in the next available increment, which may end up costing more than you want or can afford to spend. Worse yet, with current, "burst" application requirements, the need for additional bandwidth can often be as temporary as it is critical. By providing flexible capacity, or "bandwidth on demand," service providers can help customers deal with variations in traffic, and with avoiding a high fixed monthly payment. True bandwidth-on-demand services should allow for a wide range in capacity.

Although anybody can purchase a burstable T3, this type of connection can be costly, even as costly as a full 45Mbps connection. Burstable lines can be found at their lowest cost at a collocation facility. At a collocation facility, or "colo", many users share a large OC3 or OC12 pipe. As a customer you will not have to pay for a the fixed cost of such a large pipe, but will have the benefit of being able to burst up to very high speeds if necessary. If you need the reliability of a large pipe fur busty traffic but don't have the capital consider a colo. If you have a steady volume and are consistent, you may consider keeping services in house and going with a T3 connection. Whether you're considering a collocation facility or a T3 to the door, make sure you use a broker to help guide you through the providers and plans available.
