  2. Low-noise block downconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter

    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.

  3. FTA receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTA_receiver

    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.

  4. Monoblock LNB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoblock_LNB

    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 ...

  5. Single-cable distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-cable_distribution

    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 ...

  6. Duo LNB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duo_LNB

    A Duo LNB is a double low-noise block downconverter (LNB) developed by SES for the simultaneous reception of satellite television signals from both the Astra 23.5°E and Astra 19.2°E satellite positions. It is a monoblock LNB, which comprises two feedhorns with a single body of electronics containing the LNB stages along with switching ...

  7. Block upconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_upconverter

    An example of a system utilizing both a BUC and an LNB is a VSAT system, used for bidirectional Internet access via satellite. The block upconverter is a block shaped device assembled with the LNB in association with an OMT, orthogonal mode transducer to the feed-horn that faces the reflector parabolic dish. This is opposed to other types of ...

  8. Fibre satellite distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_satellite_distribution

    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 ...

  9. DVB-S2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S2

    Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2) is a digital television broadcast standard that has been designed as a successor for the popular DVB-S system. It was developed in 2003 by the Digital Video Broadcasting Project, an international industry consortium, and ratified by ETSI (EN 302307) in March 2005.
