Direct broadcast satellite
Direct broadcast satellite (DBS) is a term used to refer to
satellite television broadcasts intended for home reception, also referred to as direct-to-home signals. The expression direct-to-home or DTH was, initially, meant to distinguish the transmissions directly intended for home viewers from cable television distribution services that sometimes carried on the same satellite. The term predates DBS satellites and is often used in reference to services carried by lower power satellites which required larger dishes (1.7M diameter or greater) for reception. In Europe, the expression was common prior to the launch of ASTRA-1 in 1988 as there were two markets: the DTH market which required the larger dishes and the DBS (ASTRA) market which required smaller (0.9M dishes). As higher powered satellites like ASTRA came into operation, the acronym DBS gradually supplanted it.

Direct Broadcast Satellite
Een Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS), oftewel directe omroepsatelliet, is een term die gebruikt wordt om
kunstmanen aan te duiden, die met een hoog vermogen televisie- en radiosignalen naar de aarde zenden, zodat deze met kleine paraboolantennes (
schotelantennes) te ontvangen zijn. Ze bevinden zich in een
geostationaire baan om de aarde, en zijn gericht op het
Direct To Home (DTH) principe. De consument krijgt de mogelijkheid om, zonder tussenkomst van een
kabelmaatschappij, televisie- en radiosignalen te ontvangen.
