®

These parts make up the DSS system "big picture."
Uplink Center Transmits programming up to the satellite.
Satellite Relays the programming signals back to your satellite
dish. The satellite is parked above the equator, in geostationary
orbit 22,300 miles above the earth.
DSS ® Satellite Dish Antenna Receives the satellite signals.
Because the satellite is so powerful, the dish can be as small as 18
inches.
Program Provider Authorization Center Processes billing
statements. Your DSS ® system is linked to the Service Center
through the phone jack on the back of your DSS ® receiver.
