  • Abstract
    The rapid evolution of satellite TV broadcast technology resulted in a tremendous increase in the number of available TV programs. Cable TV systems worldwide faced the challenge of expanding program capacity to catch up with the ever increasing number of programs being broadcast. In this paper, I will share the sequence of development, which transformed cable TV installations for Oil & Gas residential communities in Saudi Arabia and I will highlight the distinctive nature of such installations.
