Genuine Original RCA DSS Digital Satellite Cable Box Receiver System DRD102RW. The DSS System transports digital data, video and audio to the customer's home via a high powered KU-band satellite. The program provider sends its program material to the uplink site where the signal is digitally encoded. The "uplink" is the portion of the signal transmitted from the earth to the satellite. The uplink site compresses the video and audio, encrypts the video and formats the information into data "packets" that are transmitted. The signal is transmitted to a satellite where it is relayed back to the earth and decoded by the customer's receiver.
