Direct-to-home and direct broadcast satellite
Direct-to-home (DTH) can either refer to the communications satellites themselves that deliver service or the actual television service. Most satellite television customers in developed television markets get their programming through a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) provider. Signals are transmitted using Ku band (12 to 18 GHz) and are completely digital which allows for higher picture and sound quality.
