The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic antenna commonly referred to as a satellite dish and a low-noise block downconverter. Diagram showing how modern satellite television works. A satellite receiver decodes the desired television program for viewing on a television set. Receivers can be external set-top boxes, or a built-in ...
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.
A satellite modem is not the only device needed to establish a communication channel. Other equipment that is essential for creating a satellite link include satellite antennas and frequency converters. Data to be transmitted are transferred to a modem from data terminal equipment (e.g. a computer).
