DBS System Overview
Although the use of satellites, satellite dishes, and receivers may seem complex, the
DMX/DBS service uses a highly sophisticated system that makes channel selection and
local music programming easier and simpler than using a VCR. It also allows DMX to
deliver music of unprecedented linearity, sonic precision, and exceptional fidelity.
The DMX/DBS premiere digital audio service uses the following satellite technology:
Satellite Uplink Facility ⎯ transmits music programming to the
satellite through satellite dishes
Satellite ⎯ relays the music programming signals to your satellite
dish antenna
DBS Satellite Dish Antenna ⎯ receives the music programming
transmitted from the satellite and relays it to the DR500/1 Receiver.
Your satellite dish can be as small as one meter and may be installed
in various places on or around your location. The only constraint is
that the satellite dish must be properly pointed at the satellite with no
obstacles blocking the satellite signal.
