There is a large number of TV signals broadcasted by satellites. This signals can be classified in two groups: encrypted and free (opened) signals.
The encrypted signals can be received and decrypted unless you pay a fee and your satellite receiver is enabled by the signal provider.
It is possible to subscribe by one (TV stations) or many (for example Direct TV).
Free signals are those that you can receive without paying a monthly fee. It is only necessary to have the right equipment installed.
The dominant technology for sending TV signals via satellite is the digital format MPEG2 / DVB.
Nevertheless there are other formats used, in particular for analogue transmission. For example, many Brazilian channels are received from the Brasilsat satellite in analogue format (GLOBO, BANDEIRANTES, REDE EDUCATIVA, etc.).
