Satellite TV Technology For The Future

Internet TV, in short, is video and audio data sent over an Internet connection. It is also called Internet protocol television, or IPTV. Broadcasting rights to Internet TV differ from country to country. These rights are implemented to govern the allotment of copyrighted content and media.

 Internet TV broadcasting is almost similar to watching television via an antenna or a series of cable wires, the difference being that information is delivered over the Internet as data. The advantage that Internet TV has over cable TV is that it has much more variety, along with many of the similar shows you find on the established networks, most Web sites provide autonomously produced shows targeted at people with specific interests.

 Internet TV is still a relatively new phenomena, and quality, matter and expenses can greatly vary. Shows are of very good quality and professionally produced material. Although the only drawback seems to be the difference in video quality and the varying screen size, right now Internet TV, broadcasting offers a few more benefits than traditional television does. You can watch two basic types of broadcasts through Internet TV:

 Live broadcasts

 Web sites like wwiTV assemble lists of live broadcast channels. These channels are generally grouped based on country and browse through the list of available broadcasts. Some TV networks also play live, streaming feeds of their programming on their official sites.

 On demand videos

 On-demand videos are arranged like a playlist. Episodes or clips of a show are organized by title or channel or in categories like news, sports, or music videos. You get to choose whatever you want to watch and when you want to watch it. The USP for most of these sites is that viewers can watch all their favourite programs courtesy video streaming, a technology that permits you to watch an audiovisual clip online.
 The Ku band satellite system (Kurtz-under band) is mainly used for satellite communications, predominantly for editing and broadcasting satellite television. This band is separated into several sections based on geographical regions, as established by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). The Ku band is a segment of the electromagnetic band in the microwave spectrum of frequencies ranging from 11.7 to 12.7GHz. The most frequently used Ku band digital reception format is DVB or the full-blown Digicipher II 4DTV format. The first commercial television network to comprehensively make use of the Ku Band satellite system for most of its associate feeds was NBC, back in 1983.

 HotBird Transponder is the name of an established family of satellites controlled by Eutelsat, located at 13E over the Equator and with transmitting imprints over Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
