DBS, or direct broadcast satellite, is a relatively recent development in the world of television distribution, with Hughes’s DirecTV, the first high powered DBS system, going online in 1994. DBS uses high powered Ku-Band satellites that send digitally compressed television and audio signals to 18 to 24 inch fixed satellite dishes. DirecTV’s introduction was the most successful consumer electronics debut in history. In 1996, Echostar’s DISH Network went online and has gone on to similar success.
