A Viewsat Xtreme FTA receiver. A free-to-air or FTA Receiver is a satellite television receiver designed to receive unencrypted broadcasts. Modern decoders are typically compliant with the MPEG-4/DVB-S2 standard and formerly the MPEG-2/DVB-S standard, while older FTA receivers relied on analog satellite transmissions which have declined rapidly in recent years.
A low-noise block downconverter (LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish and converts them to a signal which is sent through a cable to the receiver inside the building.
When using a satellite single cable distribution system for pay-TV subscriptions, end-users need to choose between multiple incompatible receivers compliant with either a single unicable LNB or a multi-Feed, multi-satellite reception by twin or quad Monoblock LNB, unless they intend to use two or four separate cables connected to alternative ...
Special LNBs have been developed for use in single-cable distribution systems. All four sub-bands of the Ku band (low frequency/horizontal polarity, high frequency/horizontal polarity, low frequency/vertical polarity, high frequency/vertical polarity) are received by a conventional front end, amplified and downconverted to the L-band, to be fed to a number of SatCR (Satellite Channel Router ...
A communications satellite's transponder is the series of interconnected units that form a communications channel between the receiving and the transmitting antennas. [1] It is mainly used in satellite communication to transfer the received signals. A transponder is typically composed of: an input band-limiting device (an input band-pass filter),
A virtual LNB with four electrical outputs for four tuners. The complete spectrum of Ku-band satellite reception stretches from 10.70 GHz-12.75 GHz across two signal polarisations, or a bandwidth of about 4000 MHz. This cannot be carried on a single coaxial cable and so in a conventional satellite reception system, just one of four sub-bands ...
Othernet sells a portable satellite data receiver that combines an amplifier, radio, and CPU in a single unit. The company's goal is to make news, information, and education accessible to everyone. Othernet's stated goal is to provide free access to content from the web through geostationary and low Earth orbit satellites, made available ...
It has the standard features of a free-to-air (FTA) satellite receiver, plus extensive Fast Ethernet networking connectivity and a single smart card reader. It does not feature a 7-segment LED display, normally found in other FTA decoders.
