CHOOSING BETWEEN SATELLITE TV AND CABLE TV  by

 Whitney Alen
10/6/2008 at 11:33
If you have just moved into an area where TV reception for all of the free network stations is sketchy, it is time for you to decide whether you want to get cable TV or satellite TV. Both choices have their advantages and their disadvantages, but whichever one you choose, you need to know a few things before you can make a choice.

Mainly, you need to know what the prices that the satellite and cable TV companies in your area are charging and for what channel packages. From any satellite or cable TV company, you will find that you can get fewer channels for less money and extra channels for more money.

You should contact your local cable and satellite providers and ask them for price lists. Depending on the area in which you live and the current incentive packages that your local companies are offering, you will probably find basic channel packages for as low as fifteen dollars a month (this might even just include local channels). Of course, for the premium channel packages that offer you the most variety, you might pay a hundred dollars or more per month.

Of course, you will have to add to the monthly cost of either satellite or cable TV the installation charges and cost of hardware. If you let these companies know that you are shopping around, they might offer free hardware and installation or some other incentive to get your business. Beware; however, as sometimes these incentives include contract commitments that can ...

SATELLITE TELEVISION IN RURAL AREAS  by

 Whitney Alen
10/6/2008 at 11:32
For people who live in remote or rural locations, broadcast television is often limited. The VHF and UHF signals that broadcast television emits are picked up by antenna, however remote or rural locations often are not conducive to a strong signal.

There’s the option of cable, however many of the remote or rural locations do not have access to cable television. Today, people who live in these areas have an option for quality viewing and that’s satellite TV.

Satellite TV is created through a communications satellite that is in fixed orbit above the earth. A viewer signs up with a satellite service. By paying for the satellite service they are then able to receive the satellite programming. Only those who pay for the service are able to receive the programming. Others are unable to receive it because the signal is scrambled and is not descrambled without paid authorization.

Receiving programming though satellite TV is a wireless set-up. This contributes to the quality viewing. In addition, gone are the very large dish receivers of the earlier days. These were indeed an eyesore. Today the satellite dishes are small and barely noticeable.

As with cable television, theft has been a problem with satellite television. Unauthorized people figured out ways to descramble the programming and offer it to consumers at their own prices. Today, significant improvements have been made to prevent theft of the satellite network.

Also, the descrambling features are very specific for viewers. Not all programming will come into a household. Some people may pay for ...

WHAT ARE MY SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIOS OPTIONS?  by

You’ve caved. Initially the idea of paying $13/month for radio seemed silly, since you already had a perfectly fine set up, but over time the idea of having 130 channels of commercial-free listening charmed you. Since you’ll need a few items to get started, you may be wondering what kind of Sirius Satellite radios to look for at your local electronics shop.

Sirius satellite radios were originally designed for use in your vehicle. These are subscribers who are frequently stuck in bumper to bumper traffic at 5pm every day. Some of them drive large semis or delivery trucks for their jobs. Others need a 24/7 dosage of Bruce Springsteen or Howard Stern’s humorous programming to help them make it through their road trip, however long it may be.

The XACT Visor Sirius satellite radios, costing just $49.99, mount onto your visor or dashboard for easy access. The one-line sixteen character display is easily discernible in a quick glance while driving. There are 36 channel presets for fast searching, a remote control and a lighter adapter.

The Sirius One Radio is usually offered at $49.99 as well, but sometimes you can catch an online sale through their website for as low as $20! Many people like the high-contrast display with vivid turquoise writing, the built-in wireless FM transmitter and the four different mounting options with no professional installation required.

The In-V Sirius satellite radios are just $34, and need to be installed professionally. There are 10 radio presets and three-line display on the vivid orange ...

A LOOK AT THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND SATELLITE RADIO  by

 Gregg Hall
1/15/2008 at 17:15
Any song that you hear on your satellite radio is a recording or replay and will be transmitted to you again and again. The recording has to be at a minimum so that you will be able to put it on CDs and tapes. The music is that of an MP3 except it is broadcasted over it. The person who is putting together the music on the broadcast usually just puts together a list of 20 to 30 minutes worth of music and then just lets it play.

Encoding will be one of the key things in satellite digital broadcasting. Every channel is handled by a different person who chooses the music to play. Whoever is playing the music will take the analog and put it to digital use. The process that the high powered computers do is way more powerful then any other regular computer today because they have to break down sound waves and maybe re makes them. After they have broken them down they will be put on CDs after the song is remade or whatever happens during the encoding process it will be broadcasted over your normal one. That is what happens when you push your button to turn on your satellite radio and are going to be listening to your receiver. Above the earth in space is where the satellites send down the transmissions broadcasted on the satellite radios.

The satellites are located up there and they will send down the broadcasts that are made. All they ...

Depending on your usage, there are many different XM satellite radios from which to choose. Most of the XM receivers can be used both at home and in your car, but be aware you’ll probably have to purchase a few accessories to make it work unless you’re buying a specified "Home Kit" or "Car Kit."

WHAT ARE MY BROADBAND OPTIONS?  by

 Andrew Morris
1/15/2008 at 17:13
There are different broadband technologies available to the consumer depending upon the geographical location of the subscriber. Basic services can be provided in a number of ways.

Cable high speed internet availability is most likely connected with the provision of cable television service. These companies use the same lines used for cable service and is ordinarily offered by your cable provider. Download speeds are typically 1.5 to 3 MBps (Megabytes per second) or about 30 to 60 times faster than a 56K dial-up connection.

Cable internet can be connected using cable television jacks, but the technician may install a new jack near your primary computer. The provider’s "modem" is connected to the cable jack and computer using an Ethernet or USB cable.

While most people might think of public wireless as being in a "hot zone" at their local coffee shop or airport, real wireless internet services a broad coverage area in a unique frequency range: similar to how cellular phone networks operate. In addition, a consumer can be located anywhere within that coverage area in order to receive wireless service. Wireless internet service is very easy to enable. The wireless provider’s device plugs into an electrical outlet and connects your PC or laptop while using a standard Ethernet networking cable. No software is required. Signal boosters or wireless routers can extend the service area within your house if the modem location is away from the computer.

DSL Internet Services, or (Digital Subscriber Line Internet Services) are generally found in densely populated areas. These ...

WHAT ARE THE BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS FOR IPTV IMPLEMENTATION?  by

 Michael Lemm
1/15/2008 at 17:12
Many see IPTV as the "next big thing". However, often both providers and users are unclear on one of the most basic tenants of IPTV quality functionality. The required bandwidth. So... just what is the minimum bandwidth which will give a "good" movie experience?

Actually, the question posed in those terms does not make a lot of sense.

As a matter of fact you must take into consideration the resolution in pixels of the video. Example, for a 16:9 broadcast the numbers are as follows:

704x480
1280x768
1920x1080

The frame rate will be 24, to match the cameras used to film movies.

Then you should consider the codec in use to compress the image ..... and the bitrate you want to use.

Then you must move on to the audio part. Again you should use an appropriate codec and bitrate.

The TV set used plays an important role as well. For example, a 52 inch 16:9 LCD/plasma flat panel will show more artifacts than a 32 inch analogue 16:9 CRT TV.

Also the media could be a notebook or a mobile phone instead of a TV...

As stated earlier, this is a difficult question to answer and it all depends on your network design to be honest. Some providers have done HD quality streams at a constant 1Mbps and viewed it on a 50+ inch plasma .... which wow’d clients. One sample provider streamed a maximum 8 sessions on a demo from 8 different countries via MPLS ..... and has a multicast stream of about 2.5Mbps in HD.

MPLS helps ..... but ...

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FULL AND FRACTIONAL T1?  by

 Budda Oliver
1/15/2008 at 17:12
T1 lines have been steadily growing in popularity over the past few years. In fact, households, businesses, and organizations using T1 have grown by 15% annually for the past decade. However, many are not familiar with the way T1 works, and especially what the difference is between full and fractional T1 lines.

Full T1 Lines

Full T1 is a term used to describe a telecommunications circuit that provides 1.54 megabits per second (Mbps) of high speed Internet access, which is the most common type of T1. T1 lines are also commonly used to carry telephone lines and VOIP calls.

A T1 line consists of 24 channels that transmit data at 64 Kbps each, therefore giving a full T1 line the capacity to transmit 1.54 Mbps of data synchronously (both incoming and outgoing). Alternatively, the T1 line can be used to provide a location with 24 separate telephone lines.

Nearly all office-based and retail businesses today require some type of Internet access in order to perform daily operations. The advantage to using a T1 line is that these lines are "leased" by the company, in essence reserving the connection for them only, and guaranteeing necessary bandwidth for the users. Full T1 lines are ideal for and most commonly used by offices with between 5 and 50 employees.

Fractional T1

Fractional T1 lines use the same technology, but use only a partial bit of a full T1 line. Like full T1 lines, these fractional lines can be used to provide Internet, networking, and voice services.

Fractional T1 lines are ...

GOING WIRELESS WITH SATELLITE INTERNET  by

1/15/2008 at 17:11
Satellite Internet access is the only reliable answer for the more than 30 million people that want to go wireless but still can’t receive high speed Internet access through DSL or cable broadband. There are many advantages of going wireless when you are using an internet service. It’s much easier to network your home or office computers with this system. One of the greatest benefits of wireless access is that you are no longer attached to a router with a cable. You can move your desktop or laptop computer anywhere around your office or home within the broadcast range of the wireless router. One of the other major benefits is the fact that multiple computers can access the internet at the same time. The entire office staff or members of your family can have simultaneous internet access. Many people that work from home or run home-based businesses prefer wireless access. Imagine a work day spent lounging by the pool while you tap away on your keyboard from the comfort of your favorite deck chair.

After subscribing to satellite service for internet access, you need to purchase a wireless router and hook it up to the satellite modem. Satellite services are normally broadband services. For the most part these work seamlessly with wireless networking equipment that has most often been used to create wireless networks for land based broadband internet services. The next step to take is to outfit your computer with a wireless networking card if did not already come with ...

IS SATELLITE RADIO FOR YOU?  by

 Dakota Caudilla
9/22/2007 at 22:52
In this world today, there’s satellite everything…there’s satellite TV, satellite phone….and why not satellite radio? Essentially, a satellite radio is a kind of service that one can subscribe to to receive radio service anywhere you want. You can have satellite radio service in your car, in your home, in your office or even in public locations. In order to receive satellite radio service, you’ll need to subscribe to the service, so, it’s not like free TV or free radio whereby any radio can receive signals for free. You will need to pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee to enjoy satellite radio. There are, in the United States, two top satellite radio services available, Sirrus and XM. Well, there could be more but these are the two leading satellite radio service providers known to date.

Each of these satellite radio services provides and transmits hundreds of channels. Unlike free radio service, you’ll have to tune in to each station to listen to whatever they’re airing at that point in time, satellite radio gives you complete coverage from Blues to Techno, Jazz to Punk Rock in one single satellite radio service. And since you’re paying for the satellite radio service, it’s logical that the service is usually commercial free, except for their own commercials, of course. So, even if they do not allow other companies or people to put commercials into their satellite radio service, they retain the right to put their own infomercials and commercials into the satellite radio service that ...

WHAT IS A SATELLITE RADIO?  by

Satellite radio is also called as digital radio. Since normal radio frequency is very low, the signals can be limited and you can listen to your favorite radio channels up to a certain limit (40, 50, 100 miles). When you go beyond a certain mile your radio won’t get the proper signals. While going for a long journey, you won’t be able to listen to your favorite radio stations. You need to keep tuning to get the nearest radio station so that clarity is good.

A satellite radio is a kind of static radio, wherein you can listen to certain radio stations anywhere in the world. It’s a fixed and permanent radio station. No matter where you are, in Florida or Texas, while traveling or at home, you can receive up to 100 radio stations with very good frequency and of CD quality. There are two-satellite radio services in the US - Sirius and XM. Subscribers have to pay a monthly fee of $9.95. Many car manufacturers have started installing satellite radio receivers. If you want to listen to satellite radio at your home or office you can buy a portable satellite radio and listen to your favorite radio stations. There are many companies manufacturing satellite radios and you can buy them online or at retail stores.

The radio stations of Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio have their own program schedule. The programs are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sports, entertainment, talk shows and many other ...

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SATELLITE PHONE AND CELLULAR PHONE?  by

 Paul Cris
9/22/2007 at 22:50
Satellite phone and Cellular phones are wireless devices. They almost look alike. But the way they work is totally different.

Cellular phones working method is cell based. That is why they are called cellular phones. The whole network area is divided into small areas. And in each area an antenna is installed. These are also called towers. When a cellular phone is moving, it keeps entering from one cell to another. When it crosses the border of one cell, the phone sends a signal to the MTSO (Mobile Telephone Switching Office). With the help of control channel the database of the MTSO relocates the phone in a new cell or area. The MTSO and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) coordinate to handle cellular calls.

But in the contrary Satellite phones use Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites. With the turning on of the satellite phone a signal goes up to the any number of satellites of a group with whom the phone is registered.

When a person makes a call from the handset, a signal goes to the near by orbiting satellite. The satellite connects to the gateway or ground station. Then the gateway takes the call to the destination. The call can be directed to the landline, cellular phone or PSTN. Any of the landlines, cell phone or PSTN can also call a satellite phone. In the case of satellite phones the gateway takes care of calls not cells as in the case of cellular phones.

If a satellite phone calls another ...

SATELLITE PHONES  by

Satellite phones are a huge part of the information revolution that is taking place in today?s world. A satellite helps you to communicate on the move. Even when you are in the middle of nowhere, satellite phones give you the choice to stay in touch. A big advantage in satellite phones is that whether you are away from a landline or beyond the reach of a cell tower, with satellite phones, one can stay in touch with any part of the planet.

Satellite phones, as the name indicates, communicate through the means of orbiting satellites that connect with main phone lines. This is a major leap forward in the telecommunications industry as satellite phone technology has displaced the need for cell towers and landlines. Satellite phones are largely useful in places where accessibility through terrestrial cellular services is not possible. Whether one is in the middle of a desert or on top of a mountain, satellite phones enable one to stay in touch.

With its wireless technology, a satellite phone helps you to talk, fax and send data from anywhere in the world. Besides giving you the benefit of constant communication, satellite phones provide high quality, affordable, and reliable services.

The retractable antenna is a distinguishing feature in these phones. Satellite phones are available in various shapes and sizes. With advancement in technology, the sizes of these phones have shrunk down in the years. These phones will work fine as long as they have a charged battery.

Satellite phones are costlier than cell phones, ...
