Direct Broadcast Services Providers Industry Overview

Companies in this industry operate direct broadcast satellite (DBS) networks that provide satellite TV services to consumers. Also known as direct-to-home (DTH) providers, these establishments transmit TV broadcasts into homes using a communications satellite that is received by a satellite dish and set-top box. These services are more often used by customers in rural and remote areas not serviced by cable or terrestrial TV providers.
