Transceiver - A satellite component that receives and retransmits a TV signal or perhaps many narrower-band data or audio channels.
Transponder - A transponder is a satellite component that receives, modulates, amplifies, and retransmits a signal. More than one television or audio channel can be transmitted over a signal transponder using MPEG compression.
UHF Remote - A UHF (Ultra High Frequency) remote control can operate the receiver from another room, unlike the IR (Infra Red) remote which needs to be pointed at the receiver.
Uplink - An uplink is a satellite antenna and transmitting system which can be used to send signals up to orbiting communications satellites.
Twin 500 LNB - A twin 500 LNB is a combination of an LNBF and a multi-sat switch component for DISH 500 systems, accommodating up to 2 DISH Network receivers.
Wireless Cable - The transmission of cable programming using microwave signals instead of underground cables or phone lines. The process requires a clear line of sight between a transmitter and a receiver. Customers using a small microwave antenna receive signals. Wireless Cable is also known as MMDS.
