C-Band Satellite Information

C Band was designed from the ground up, to deliver full broadcast video bandwidth. Initially, all C Band television broadcasts were "in the clear" as in, not scrambled. C Band transmissions by comparison, are of the highest broadcast quality, and the very ones used by all the major networks, cable providers and small dish satellite operators themselves to receive their programming. There are no digital artifacts, since the signals are totally uncompressed. What you see, is virtually the signal quality as from the master tape. C Band transmissions use no compression.
