The solution found successful was to send the signal to geostationary satellite and to get it to dispatch it. This way a transmission from one satellite could reach at least a third of the earth. The transmission is done by the earth stations of the TV channels through dish antennas. They use huge antennas for the purpose. The signal that comes back is caught by smaller dish antennas in houses where the receivers will decode the signal to enable the TV to display it as picture and sound.

The first satellite broadcasts used radio signal to send and receive the TV broadcasts. After the digital revolution came in, the satellite broadcasts too started using the digital signal. This enabled the reception to be made clearer. The early satellite dish antennas were large ones but with the improvement in digital technology and broadcasting, things changed for the better. Present day dish antennas are very small and could be installed in a small space.

It is obvious that the signal that comes to earth could be received by anyone who has a dish antenna and a receiver but this is prevented by sending encrypted signals. To decode these signals the user must buy an intelligent card that is programmed to decode the signal. This card once inserted into the receiver will do the job of decoding. The earlier cards were not safe from pirates who resorted to finding the programs from the cards and producing copies but with the new digital cards it is difficult to decode the program to copy.

The cable TV companies receive these signals with their instruments and distribute them through their wired networks. This is cheaper to start as the need to buy equipment doesn’t arise. But with the lowering prices of electronic goods these items might become cheaper. When that happen; satellite TV will become more affordable. The dish antennas too are getting smaller making it possible to have them in small spaces.

In my effort to find the best satellite TV service to join, I did a complete internet research and also asked my friends. Both ways the answer I got was that DirecTV offers the best satellite TV deal in the States. Basically there are 2 big satellite TV providers – DirecTV and Dish Network and a few smaller ones. But the smaller ones don’t offer such bonuses and discounts as the big ones do (free installation and equipment etc). The 2 big ones offer quite similar deals, but in every aspect DirecTV is a bit better – variety of channels, sports packages, high definition channels etc. Dish Network is a few dollars cheaper, but it’s not the place to start saving, you’ll get less also. Oh, Dish TV has one advantage – more languages (but I don’t care about that.

Visiting the web site of DirecTV I learned making the order is just a click away. There were several options and many satellite packages available. To play it safe, I ordered for the cheapest package.  Only in two day’s time the technicians arrived at my house and installed the satellite TV system. It took no more than an hour to complete the job and the satellite dish was up and TV showing the picture. No fee was charged for the satellite dish installation or anything.

Only when I watched the new TV I could learn the difference. It was high quality TV with a lot of variety. I could enjoy everything from local TV to football league. There was quality entertainment. The movies were there in thousands. I soon discovered that I had become quite a TV enthusiast My second step was to go for HD satellite TV in order to get more from. Here DirecTV also offers the best satellite deals available – hundreds of channels, with reasonable prices. This is a completely new experience. Now I watch high definition TV. It gives crystal clear pictures and lot more features are there. With my 1080p TV I get the world’s best quality on TV viewing.

DirecTV keeps me happy still with their customer service too. So far they didn’t leave room for me to call them a second time. The service was prompt.

A cool thing is that when I get tired of commercials I tune into channel 101 which is only available in DirecTV. This has a lot of entertainment too. The better side is that I don’t need to watch those commercials. This is one of the features I like most with DirecTV. 

Future holds a lot for me with DirecTV as it has already come out with internet TV and mobile satellite TV deal. Though I have already come to know about these two options I will take a little time but for sure I shall go for both options before long.
