DIRECTV started back in 1981 when Hughes Electronics and United States Satellite Broadcasting (USSB) were awarded frequencies along the 101 degree west location by the FCC. It took Hughes Electronics many years to build and launch the first high-powered satellite capable of handling multiple digital channels. Technology advancements in digital compression made it possible for the multiple digital channels to be stacked onto satellite transponders. The goal was to provide and deliver crystal clear digital channels to the customer’s home with a small satellite dish around 18 inches in diameter for the first time in history.Other Posts:Aerojet and NEC collaborate to explore low power ion propulsion systemsNASA selects GD-AIS to build LDCM satelliteShuttle launch delayed againJSAT and Sky Perfect Go For Closer IntegrationThe Importance of Cable TV Transmission To The SubscriberThe Hassle-Free Way to Install Dish Satellite TV5 Tips To Help Ensure Your DirecTV Installation Goes SmoothlySaab Space gets order […]
