Antenna SystemOverview
A complete satellite TV system, illustrated in Figure 1-1, includes the O45M antenna connected
to a IDU, a satellite TV receiver, and a television set.
Direct Broadcast Satellite Overview
Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information from sat-
ellites located 22,000 miles in space. A receivingstation, such as the O45M antenna, should in-
clude a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and process them for use by the con-
sumer audio and video equipment. The system requires a clear view of the satellite to maximize
the signal reception.
Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will cause a loss of sig-
nal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again. Heavy
rain, cloud, snow or ice may also interfere with the signal reception quality. If the satellite signal
is lost due to blockage or severe weather condition, services from the receiver will be lost
(picture will freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite signal strength is again high
enough, then the receiver will resume providingdesired programmingservices.

SystemComponents
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit houses the antenna positioning
mechanism, LNB (low noise block), and control ele-
ments within a n enclosed weatherproof dome.
Weather tight connectors join the power, signal, and
control cablingfrom the below decks units.
IDU (InDoor Unit)
The IDU is the system’s user interface, providing
access to the system and its functions through an
LCD and three buttons.
The IDU also serves as the vessel’s junction box,
allowing the system to use vessel power, and supply
and receive data to/from the antenna unit.
Satellite Receiver
The Satellite Receiver is a Set Top Box that allows
the Satellite Signals to be displayed on the
Television.
Satellite Receivers are supplied by the end user or
under contract by a Subscription Satellite TV
Provider.
