What kind of satellite technology does TBN Second Chance use for correctional facilities?
TBN Second Chance uses digital satellite signals transmitted from a satellite located 22,300 miles above the earth to provide the channels to your facility. • How does the technology work? Signals from the TBN studios are transmitted up to a Ku band satellite located 22,300 miles above the earth. The satellite retransmits the channels covering the US, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Ku band uses a small 3 or 4 foot dish to receive the satellite signals. A single receiver is then used to feed multiple channels to one central TV. In larger facilities with multiple TVs, each satellite channel will have its own receiver, enabling all of the televisions to show all of the TBN channels that have been selected by the facility’s administration. • We currently receive our channels from a local cable company or in-house cable headend. Can these channels be added to the existing distribution? TBN Second Chance will provide all necessary equipment to integrate with your facility
