Infrastructure

DIRECTV transmits corporate communications using high-power satellites built by Hughes Space and Communications.

Our corporate customers can provide content to DIRECTV broadcasts centers via satellite, fiber optic cable or special digital tape to be distributed for private network use to various geographic locations. The programming is digitized, encrypted and uplinked to satellites in geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the earth, and then retransmitted to the satellite receiver dish installed at each location.

The DIRECTV System

The DIRECTV System consists of a small satellite dish antenna, an integrated receiver/decoder (IRD) set-top box and a remote control. The IRD component decompresses and translates digital signals for viewing on an analog television monitor and separates each channel of programming. Our private network users normally use one channel for corporate broadcasts.
