Satellite Recievers

It’s only seconds away from the end of the fourth quarter and the ball is inches from the goal line. This play will decide the game. And the phone rings. You’ve been expecting an important call and this could be it. What do you do, take the call and miss the final play? Or, do you watch the final play and perhaps miss the important call? With today’s satellite recievers this simply is not a problem any longer. Today’s satellite recievers allow you to pause live TV action or even record the end of the game so you can watch it as soon as you have finished the call.

Satellite recievers are amazing, high-tech pieces of equipment. Their role is to communicate with a satellite some 22,000 miles above the earth. They unscramble an encrypted microwave signal and then extract just the one channel that you want to view from this signal and pass it along to your TV.

These satellite recievers interpret this microwave signal and convert it into the format your TV can use, whether it is analog or HDTV. They also keep track of pay-per-view programming and transmit that information to the program provider for billing purposes.

That is not all. Most satellite recievers that come with free satellite TV systems allow you to pause live TV action and even freeze a signal so you can view it in slow motion. These recievers will also record programming for you so that you can view it at a more convenient time. And, with parental lockout, parents can be assured that their children are watching only the programming that the parents want them to see.
