4 Satellite TV System Overview
4.1 System Components
The Skybox satellite TV delivery system
requires the following components:
4.1.1 Antenna
The Skybox antenna houses the antenna
panels and electronics within a weather-
tight radome (plastic housing). It is mounted
to the vehicle’s roof rack and connected with
a single coaxial cable to the IDU inside the
vehicle.
4.1.2 Indoor Unit (IDU)
The IDU supplies power and commands to
the Skybox antenna. This device allows you
to manually select the satellite from which
you wish to receive a signal. It is co-located
with the satellite receiver inside the vehicle.
4.1.3 Receiver
The receiver is mounted inside the vehicle
near the IDU and decodes satellite signals
from the antenna, then sends them to the
vehicle’s video system.
4.1.4 Remote Control
The remote control uses a low power RF
transmitter to control the receiver from
within the vehicle, without pointing directly
at the receiver.
