Without Direct TV satellite Receiver You Own A DishUnless your satellite TV system is connected to a Direct TV satellite receiver, your television will not be able to understand all the signals coming from the satellite. Properly aligned satellite dishes receive scrambled signals from satellite broadcasters and send them to the receiver, which using a special descrambler card, can decipher and split the signal into authorized programming. The receiver contains a special chip which is programmed by the satellite TV company to decode the signals received for the programming package that users are contracted to receive. The chip can be reprogrammed through the satellite signal to update any programming changes made. The Direct TV satellite receiver receives all the channels that you receive, but the programming chip only sends out one signal at a time. When you change channels on your receiver, it allows the chosen signal to go through. Receiver Tracks Use For Billing Purposes The Direct TV satellite receiver also keeps track of any per view channels you have viewed and sends that information to the company for billing. Earlier models of the Direct TV satellite receiver only allowed one channel to be viewed at a time but newer models often have the input for two lines allowing the user to watch one channel while recording another or for viewing two channels at once available with TVs equipped for picture-in-picture viewing. There are illegal chips on the market that when programmed, allows a person to receive all channels being broadcast by a satellite TV company. The Direct TV satellite receiver receives a signal periodically that will essentially render the illegal cards useless and they have to be reprogrammed again. Typically, the company will send out this electronic counter measure at least once a week, sometime more, and through communications with the Direct TV satellite receiver the company can also determine the location of the illegal chips. Many of the newer Direct TV satellite receivers have recording capabilities built into them that allows for digital video recording for later viewing and also allows you to pause live TV when you answer the phone, for example, letting you catch up with the program once done with your call. |
