Detailed explanation-1: -Digital encryption technology “scrambles” content provided from programmers to prevent unauthorized viewers from watching pay television services.
Detailed explanation-2: -The prevention of piracy on cable and satellite networks has been one of the main factors in the development of Pay TV encryption systems. The early cable-based Pay TV networks used no security. This led to problems with people connecting to the network without paying.
Detailed explanation-3: -Communications satellites located in geostationary orbit about the Earth are used to send television signals directly to the homes of viewers-a form of transmission called direct broadcast satellite (DBS) television.
Detailed explanation-4: -The government lets satellite providers add encryption and charge for decryption because if they didn’t, those companies wouldn’t be in business for very long. So it’s legal to encrypt satellite TV because otherwise there wouldn’t be satellite TV. At least, not satellite TV as we know it in the US.
