| Satellite TV offers a distinct technological advantage over cable TV systems: cable operations are essentially satellite operations in that cable networks receive their programming via satellite but then re-transmit the signals through the cable companies' trunk lines, which degrade the audio and video signals to a greater or lesser degree on the way to the customer's home. Satellite TV, on the other hand, eliminates the intervening wiring and provides a direct link from the satellite to the customer's antenna in a 100% digital video and audio feed. |

Capabilities

To date there are 22 television programming satellites in geo-synchronous orbit at the equator with their antennas pointing towards the northern hemisphere. Including the military, weather services as well as data communications satellites in low earth orbit there must be hundereds. To have an opportunity to work with this technology I couldn't pass the chance up. This gig fell right into my futurist category leading me to work with satellite technology for quite a while. With the convergence of all communications and entertainment technology as we start the next millenium knowledge of the combined technology will serve all well.

| Since the passing of the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act (SHVIA) in 1999, satellite TV companies have begun to offer local programming to many areas throughout the United States. |
For those areas where local TV signals are not being offered via satellite, satellite systems offer built-in electronic A/B switches. |
With a single push of a button on the remote control, consumers can toggle between satellite and off-air or cable TV signals. |
