No matter how good your system may be, you will never see a picture
without the installation of a valid satellite TV card. Only about the size of
a credit card, they slip into a spot, usually in the front of the satellite
receiver and contain a small chip that can be programmed over the
satellite with the information about your programming choices. Without
the satellite TV card in place and registered with the satellite TV
company, your system will not function.

Many people however try to beat the system on a consistent basis by
buying a satellite TV card and programming equipment that allow them
effectively to steal satellite service, receiving all channels being
broadcast by the satellite company. To help deter this theft, satellite
providers have developed what they call electronic counter measures
to render the cards useless. Satellite service providers keep in
communication with the programming cards through the satellite system
and can send out the system essentially to erase the programming
authorizations on the card.

Typically, the satellite provider will perform this counter measure about
once or twice a week and often just before a major event, such as the
Super Bowl turning many television sets into black screens just as the
big show is about to start.

The primary purpose of the satellite TV card is to unscramble all the
channels a subscriber is paying for through to the television set. If a
particular channel is not paid for, the signal remains scrambled and is not
able to be viewed. As subscribers opt for more channels, the company
can reprogram the satellite TV card to unscramble those channels.



All of the unscrambled channels are visible to the card but only the one
selected by the subscriber gets through to the TV. When the user
changes the channel it is the satellite TV card that selects which signal
is passed through the system. If the card is not properly authorized and
programmed, no signal will get through to the television set.

Many hackers sites exist that sell the programming hardware and cards,
which can cost $350 or more but many wonder the value of that
investment to obtain illegal service when the satellite provider can, with
the flip of a switch, can cause the need to reprogram the satellite TV
card frequently.

There is though another type of satellite TV card, used to watch TV on
PCs. If you want to have satellite television on your computer then a
digital satellite TV card is the solution for you. With such a TV card you
would be able to watch your favorite shows without leaving your
computer. There is also a feature that allows you to record from Digital
TV to your computer. These available options and features make digital
satellite TV an attractive choice for many consumers.

But before deciding which card to buy, the first thing that you will want
to do is learn more about this card, what it is and why you need it. A
professional satellite TV card enables you to watch high quality digital
satellite TV, and in most cases you dont even need to pay for it.

There are also a great deal of practical functions, such as instant
recording, time-shifting, EPG, and teletext which become available when
you use these cards.

If you want to buy one of these cards, there are a few different retailers
in particular that you will want to check out. They offer a wide range of
digital satellite TV card models for you to choose from. There are also
many technical forums you can log into if you want to talk to other people
interested in satellite TV cards.

Before you make the switch over to satellite TV on your PC with a special
card, you will want to make sure that this is going to be the right
decision for you. Consider all the benefits that satellite has to offer,
and this includes top notch picture quality, more varieties with over
250 channels, amazing saving as compared to cable subscribers, and
outstanding customer service.
