| CVG - Good or Bad? | | ever worked for the world's largest customer contact center? If yes, what site and account? was it a good experience or not? I was there for 3 yrs and handled direct response and a Home Satellite provider. it was a good place to work. | |
| | Satellite TV in the US | | The Direct Broadcast Systems industry finds its roots in the heyday of the Space Age, when Star Trek was pretty much the most fantastic thing on TV, and astronauts were just starting to find their way to the moon. It was a novel idea at the time to beam programming straight to one's home; but the 60's and the 70's basically saw satellite transmissions being used experimentally both by the US government and by eventually by cable companies to receive programming from source networks. It wasn't until the 80's when the commercial use of satellit equipment became the rage in the US. Americans would actually set-up huge (and very expensive) home satellite TV systems in their homes. On the average, these TVRO (TV Receive Only)/ C-Band1 systems range from around 7 to 12 feet in diameter! What made these bulky monsters quite popular at that time was the fact that they could receive the same satellite downlink signals that were used to distribute programming to cable programming providers. It was a great time for the American viewer, since they had the option to get hundreds of channels without having to pay for a single cent for them. From 1980 to 1986, there was no other way but up for... | |
| | | who invented tv? | | Television is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. The term has come to refer to all the aspects of television from the television set to the programming and transmission. The word is derived from mixed Latin and Greek roots, meaning "far sight": Greek τῆλε "tele", far, and Latin visio-n, sight.The television was not invented by a single person, but by a number of scientists' advancements contributing to the ultimate all-electronic version of the invention. The origins of what would become today's television system can be traced back as far as the discovery of the photoconductivity of the element selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873 followed by the work on the telectroscope and the invention of the scanning disk by Paul Nipkow in 1884. All practical television systems use the fundamental idea of scanning an image to produce a time series signal representation. That representation is then transmitted to a device to reverse the scanning process. The final device, the television (or TV set), relies on the human eye to integrate the result into a coherent image.Electromechanical techniques were developed from the 1900s... | |
