Abstract

Today, analog television signals are widely received by satellite since this type of installation has become extremely simple and inexpensive. Thus, in Europe, a simple satellite receiving system complete with dish, LNB and receiver is available for less than 100 Euros and there are no follow-up expenses. Similar importance must, therefore, be accorded to the distribution of digital TV signals over the same transmission path. In this chapter, the method of transmitting MPEG-2 source encoded TV signals via satellite is described.
