	Satellite dish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A satellite dish is a type of parabolic antenna designed with the specific purpose of transmitting signals to and/or receiving from satellites.
		Satellite dishes come in varying sizes and designs, and are most commonly used to receive satellite television.
		Modern dishes intended for home television use are generally 43 cm (18") to 80 cm (31") in diameter, and are fixed in one position, for Ku-band reception from one orbital position.

	Practical Considerations in Implementing Master Antenna Satellite Television Services
		The thought is that the installation of a single master antenna or several small antennas throughout the complex is preferable to a patchwork of satellite dish antennas located on balconies, decks and patios.
		In addition, those occupants who are otherwise unable to obtain satellite television signals due to the location of their unit will be able to obtain the channels of their choice through the master satellite antenna system.
		Satellite television service providers have expressed their willingness to provide much of the necessary infrastructure, including the master antennas and lock boxes, at no cost to the association in exchange for the right to market satellite of television services to the community.

	Federal Register Notice
		First, it was observed that satellite carriers are often the signal providers for a building, and to allow a satellite carrier to designate itself as the own er of the cable system could qualify a satellite carrier as a cable system, a result contrary to the Office's conclusion that satellite carriers are not cable systems.
		Thus, the satellite carrier would never be designated as the owner of the cable system for filing purposes and the Copyright Office need not be concerned over any anomaly with its determination that ``satellite carriers do not and cannot qualify for the cable compulsory license.'' MaxTel et.
		The Office agrees that the satellite carrier could also be the SMATV system operator for that portion of the satellite carrier's operation for which it performs the functions of a SMATV system operator, but not for the direct delivery of the distant signals.

	Satellite Television Reception in Latin America
		The program is received by a designated transponder on the satellite, which amplifies the ground signal and transmits back down to earth a signal (known as the downlink) across a wide area known as the foot print.
		Secondly, there are many former cable television customers who switch over either because they are dissatisfied with the cable services or because the DTH service is thought to be superior (more channels with better reception quality at comparable cost).
		A number of satellite programmers are open-air broadcasters who are using the satellites to distribute their signals locally.

	[No title]
		In assessing the competitive position of broadcast television, it is important to distinguish between broadcast television as a source of programming that is an input to cable service and broadcast television as a transmission medium.
		Indeed, the importance of broadcast television as a source of programming is reflected in the fact that the inability of certain distribution technologies (e.g., DBS) to carry local stations may affect their competitiveness.
		On the other hand, as 96% of the nation's television households are currently passed by cable and basic cable subscribership continues to escalate, the use of the broadcast spectrum as a transmission medium for direct video program delivery has clearly declined.

	SMATV - Design and Installation of Satellite Master Antenna TeleVision (SMATV)
		For almost forty years, satellites have been the primary medium for the distribution of television programming.
		The reason is simple: no other technology matches satellite for its ability to affordably distribute video content across wide distances, to literally an unlimited number of viewers.
		A master antenna television system can combine a variety of video media sources at a "head-end" facility and distribute that video information throughout a manufacturing plant or corporate campus.

		The first commercial cable television system appeared in the 1950's as "Community Antenna Television," or "CATV." It was not until 1960 that the FCC began asserting jurisdiction over CATV systems, and since that time its role has gradually increased.
		The Commission ultimately determined that it was cable television's use of public rights-of-way which was the primary rationale for local control.
		In Duplicative and Excessive Over-Regulation of Cable Television, 54 FCC 2d 855, 861 (1975), the Commission said: The ultimate dividing line [between federal and local regulation], as we see it, rests on the distinction between reasonable regulations regarding use of the streets and rights-of-way and the regulation of the operational aspects of cable communications.

		SMATV systems (Satellite Master Antenna Television) are now employed in most hotels and communal dwellings to provide end users with a broader range of programme facilities (Sky, CNN, Zee TV etc) for specialist interest groups, multilingual clients or private tenants.
		A domestic (DTH) satellite dish or a larger commercial satellite dish are normally utilised to provide source signals to the Head-End site, where signal decoding takes place before onward distribution to the interface point with the end-user (Outlet).
		Satellite services received by the dish can be supplied to the end-user using a variety different methods dependent upon the client's specific requirements and the cost limitations.

		Government may reasonably decide to regulate the distribution of electricity or television programs to paying customers in the open market without also regulating the way in which the owner of the antenna, or the windmill, distributes its benefits within the confines of his own property.
		The master antenna serving multiple units in an apartment building is less unsightly than a forest of individual antennas, each serving a separate apartment.
		While the crossing of that line need not trigger regulatory intervention, and the absence of such a crossing may not prevent such intervention, it certainly cannot be said that government is disabled by the Constitution from regulating in the case of the former and abstaining in the case of the latter.
