The symbol rate is measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to the number<br />

of symbols that are received per second.<br />

A transponder is a satellite transmitter which transmits TV and radio<br />

signals. A satellite has several transponders.<br />

Analogue transponders transmit only one TV channel and possibly<br />

several radio channels on their transmit frequencies.<br />

Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several<br />

radio channels on their transmit frequencies. When a channel provider<br />

broadcasts several TV channels via a digital transponder, this is referred<br />

to as the channel package of the channel provider. The terms<br />

"digital transponder" and "channel package," therefore have the same<br />

meaning.<br />

The video bit rate describes the quantity of data of the digitised video<br />

signal that is transmitted per second.<br />

The viterbirate (code rate, error rate) characterises the type of error<br />

protection used by the channel provider. The <strong>DVB</strong> standard stipulates<br />

the following values: 1/2 -2/ 3 - 3/4 - 4/5 - 5/6 6/7 - 7/8.
