Satellite Communications White Papers

Delivery of local channels in High Definition over Satellite

Overview The Local TV on Satellite (LTVS) system will deliver programming from all full-power TV stations within a local market by direct- to-home Ka-band satellite transmissions. End-users will be equipped with small antennas and TV set-top boxes capable of receiving the LTVS satellite signal in conjunction with one of the other Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) services. The LTVS satellites will be collocated at an orbital slot between 105° and 115°W, near the major direct broadcast satellites. LTVS will be capable of delivering both Standard Definition TV (SDTV) and High Definition TV (HDTV) as defined by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) Digital TV standard.
