 What Is a Modern Satellite TV Receiver?

A modern satellite TV receiver (also called a satellite set-top box or decoder) is an electronic device that connects to your satellite dish and television. It receives digital satellite signals via the LNB (Low-Noise Block downconverter), decodes them, and displays them on your TV screen.
