Today, satellite television is available to a wide range of consumers. For a relatively low price, you can install a satellite system at home, comfortably sit in front of the TV screen and watch any of the channels that are included in the package. But a few decades ago, satellite broadcasting was exotic.
Satellite TV: a window to the big world
The principle of operation of satellite television is quite simple and understandable: a television picture from a special space satellite is transmitted to a receiving antenna, most often in the form of a "plate". The antenna receives the signal, a special technical device decodes and converts it. After that, a moving image appears on the screen of a conventional television receiver.
The benefits of satellite television are obvious. It does not require the laying of special cables, and therefore is accessible even to residents of very remote regions, including those who live in rural areas. If the viewer does not need a huge number of channels, he can watch several programs included in the basic set for free. Subscription fee is not required for this.
Satellite TV, if properly configured, guarantees exceptionally high image quality.
