Abstract :
This paper introduces a novel concept of distributed up-link for digital television via satellite. A number of broadcasters situated in different geographical locations can independently have direct access to the satellite for multiplexing and direct-to-home transmission. The system utilises advanced on-board processing techniques for the multiplexing of signals into a single multiprogramme transport stream. The down-link transmission is in accordance with the European standard for digital video broadcasting
