Satellite

DTV has been made known to be commercially viable in the satellite television market, where it is used to multiplex large numbers of channels onto the available bandwidth. The business representation for satellite DTV in the U.S. and the UK is similar to that for cable TV. Satellite DTV operators tend to take action as packagers for large numbers of channels, including pay-TV. The greater RF bandwidth accessible to satellite operators allows them to out-compete terrestrial DTV operators on both number of channels and picture quality.
