The dish had to be pointed directly at the satellite, with nothing blocking the signal. Weaker signals required larger dishes. [4] [5] [6] The dishes worked by receiving a low-power C-Band (3.7–4.2 GHz) frequency-modulated analog signal directly from the original distribution satellite – the same signal received by cable television headends.

Spot beams are used so that only Earth stations in a particular intended reception area can properly receive the satellite signal. [1]
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.
