ViP 211 Satellite TV Receiver - Entertainment - Television

The service providers of satellite TV have introduced yet another receiver, which is ViP 211. The receiver is packed with few features and is targeted especially to those people who are looking for standard television entertainment. The receiver is capable of showcasing HD or High definition images (720p) and is also compatible with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 compression technology.

Service providers of satellite TV have realized that people wants quality entertainment at affordable price. For this reason they are incorporating the HD feature in their less expensive receiver models. ViP 211 is one such receiver model that is capable of supporting higher resolution image broadcast. But for that you need to have an HDTV device in your living room. If you don't such TV set then also you can use this device. That's because the receiver can support standard definition (480p) images.

You can even get Dolby Digital surround sound in your living room since the receiver has built in decoder for delivering this amazing cinematic sound. The service providers of satellite TV has incorporated this feature so that people, who are unable to afford the high end receiver models can still enjoy television entertainment to the fullest. For effective transmission of Dolby Digital surround sound, ViP 211 receiver model is having the Toslink optical digital output.

Toslink is a technology that has been developed by a leading Japanese consumer electronics and computer manufacturer, Toshiba. This technology has been invented to connect a receiver with a compact disc player for the purpose of streaming PCM audio signals. Toslink cables are also referred as optical fiber cables since the material that is used for making this cabling system is plastic optical fiber. In certain cases optical fibers made from quartz glass or multistrand plastic. These materials are used for transmitting audio signals of higher bandwidth.

Some of the other features like USB 2.0 port, Parental locks, On-screen Caller ID, Ethernet port and interactive Electronic Program Guide (EPG) are also present in this device. The rear panel of this satellite TV receiver has a telephone jack, input for satellite tuner and ATSC antenna input. The remote control of this device is ergonomically designed and feels nice on the palm. One unique feature of the remote control is that it can even control your TV or DVD player.

The USB 2.0 port will allow you to connect various USB 2.0 devices. Another interesting feature of this receiver is its capability to operate a second satellite receiver via Infra-red or UHF (Ultra High Frequency). But this can be done only in AUX or Auxiliary Mode. There is a 'Recover' button on the remote control, whose job is to toggle through DVD and TV inputs. This will help you to get back to the satellite programming if you change channels on your TV or VCR by mistake.

So here you can see that ViP 211 satellite receiver model is an interesting piece of device. The only downside to this receiver is its inability to record live television programming. If you not so keen in recording TV programs then this receiver is definitely for you.

History of Satellite TV - Technology - Communication

Human imagination has the power to visualize the future, seek visionary solutions to problems, guide people to inventions that change the face of the earth, and the fate of humankind. Inventions and discoveries for centuries, motivated by inspiring ideas of a few, including the heretic science fiction stories of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and others, have helped us to reach this stage of modern technology. Such has been the revelation of Arthur C. Clarke in his classic 'Extraterrestrial Relays', published in 1945, in which he wrote about having satellites in special orbits 22,300 miles above the equator, based on calculations done in 1928 by the astronautics pioneer Herman Potocnik Noordung, to facilitate global communication. The idea sparked and broke like fire, with the Russians coming up with the world's first satellite, Sputnik in 1957, closely followed by the Americans in early 1958.

Then, you could get a lot of channels for free, but most of the "good channels" required some sort of subscription. The trouble is you would have to switch satellites to get decent programs. If your "actuator" (the gizmo that moved the dish) broke, you were out of luck. One of those cost around $150. The 2 Foot Dish: Then, the little dish came along, easier to get installed, but now you have to pay to get anything. Even if you only watch commercial TV on it, you still need to pay and the subscriptions were long term. The other problem was there were no local channels. Basic subscriptions were around $50 to $75 a month after the $300-$400 installation fee. Sometimes you have multiple subscriptions, even though you ha...
