Best Answer

Cable TV WANs use a distributed architecture that consists of several star-shaped centralized locations. The focal point in the star is the head-end, which is the central receiving point for signals from various sources, including satellite, other major cable sources, and local television sources. The head-end is a grouping of antennas, cable connections, microwave towers, satellite dishes, and it distills all incoming signal sources and transfers them to remote distribution centers through trunk line.

Does cable use satellite?

Cable TV doesn't use Satellites. They are two different services. Cable TV is a digital service where you get the services by using a cable installed by your cable tv provider in your area. The Satellite TV is the strong competition of Cable TV. It needs a satellite dish and a satellite to receive digital-TV signals from the providers.On the link provided, you will see the comparison of Satellite TV and Cable TV and why Satellite TV is the superior on both services.EDIT: Cable-TV does use satellites - but only to bring in the signal from other countries. It's fed to distribution equipment, which sends it down the cable to individual homes. For example - I have cable-TV supplied by Virgin Media - they broadcast content from other countries supplied to them by satellites (eg. SKY 1 which is an American broadcaster), and they send it down a cable to my home. Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
