Receiving Equipment

Introduction This section discusses the variety of equipment and hardware the customer will need in order to receive the DIRECTV programming from the satellites

Objectives List the equipment and hardware needed to receive DIRECTV programming Explain how the LNB operates Explain how the receiver selects programming List three functions of the access card Identify the correct ODU/LNB configuration

Receiving Equipment IRD- Integrated Receiver, Decoder LNB Low Noise Block, Down Converter ODU- Out Door Unit Access Card

Receiving Equipment What is an LNB? LNB stands for Low Noise Block. It receives microwaves signals from the satellite, amplifies them and converts the signal to a lower frequency band

Basic System Overview (ODU) What is an LNB? Low Noise Block Converter What is Polarization and how many polarities are there? 2 Circular polarities per orbital slot Right Hand Circular Left Hand Circular

Basic System Overview Review: What are the three basic components of a satellite system? What is an LNB? What does it do? How is an LNB powered? What is polarity? How does an LNB switch polarities?

Receiving Equipment ODU and LNB Single Satellite ODU

Receiving Equipment MultiSwitches 3 X 4 6 X 8 4 X 8

Basic System Overview (Multiswitch) What is a multiswitch? Standard 3 X 4 Standard 4 X 4, 4 X 8 High Frequency wide band 6 X 8 or 6 X 16

Basic System Overview (Multiswitch) How does a basic multiswitch work? NOTE: Older multiswitches may have 17 volts listed for LHCP.

Diplexer Diplexers are used to insert off air channels on the same cable as the satellite channels.
