DMS International has been in the satellite business for 33 years, founded by Tim Heinrichs in Nebraska. Heinrichs has been interested in wireless communication since his early experiments with CB radio in the 1960s. In 1980, Heinrichs started repairing satellite dishes as a side job and realized there was demand for this equipment, leading him to found DMS International. The company initially focused on the North American market but has since expanded internationally. Heinrichs and DMS International are now based in Georgia.
A father builds a simple satellite antenna out of Legos and aluminum foil to demonstrate to his daughter how easy it is to receive satellite signals. He shapes the aluminum foil into a parabolic dish using a ball, then mounts it on a Lego structure along with the LNB. With some adjustment of the LNB position, the homemade antenna is able to receive signals from satellites like ASTRA, surprising the daughter with the power of modern satellites. The project provides an enjoyable afternoon activity for bonding with his daughter while sparking her interest in satellite reception.
This document describes a two-motor system for controlling a satellite antenna with independent control of azimuth (left/right) and elevation (up/down). It uses two standard DiSEqC motors mounted at a 90 degree angle to one another. One motor controls azimuth and is attached to the mast. The second motor controls elevation and is attached to the first motor and satellite dish. A twin LNB and DiSEqC 2/1 switch allow independent control and reception via each motor/axis. The system provides a wide range of motion to accurately point the antenna at all satellites without need for fine-tuning.

The document tests and reviews the Moi Plus streaming box by TBS, which acts as a central DVB receiver that can distribute TV and radio signals via a home network to multiple devices. Key features include its small size, ability to be located remotely from TVs, support for wireless and wired networking, and integration of tuners. It comes preinstalled with the Tvheadend software, which allows automatic channel scanning, creation of customized channel lists for each user, electronic program guide functionality, and recording of content to external USB drives connected to the Moi Plus box. The review concludes the Moi Plus and Tvheadend together provide a versatile whole-home digital TV solution.
The Tekniksat optical distribution system can deliver 4 satellite signals and 1 terrestrial signal to hundreds of receivers with equal signal quality at all outputs. It uses an optical transmitter to convert the signals to a single optical signal, an optical splitter to divide the signal, and an optical multiswitch to convert it back and distribute to subscribers. Testing showed the system maintained sufficient gain and only minimally impacted signal quality even when splitting the signal across 320 receivers. It is recommended for efficiently distributing signals to a large number of subscribers.

EICO also distributes signals using GlobalInvacom's fiber-optic system to over 100 apartments. While EICO previously installed MMDS systems, that technology is expected to be discontinued in Iceland. Overall, EICO remains at the forefront of technology for receiving TV signals in Iceland.
This document provides information about TELE-audiovision Magazine, a digital TV trade publication established in 1981. It is published by TELE-audiovision Magazine GmbH based in Munich, Germany. Alexander Wiese is the publisher and editor-in-chief. The magazine is published in both print and digital formats and covers topics related to digital TV technology and devices, with a focus on products that utilize multiple tuners in the latest issue.
This document is the March-April 2015 issue of TELE-audiovision, a digital TV trade magazine published since 1981. The issue includes test reports on new products such as a triple-tuner HD receiver, a dual tuner signal meter, and an amplifier that improves signal quality. It also has articles on a software developer in Germany and a satellite equipment wholesaler in Iceland, as well as information on the magazine's global readership and a history of TELE-audiovision.
The document tests and reviews the Titanium Satellite C1W-PLL LNBF. It was tested on an offset dish in southern France and found to have excellent reception quality, with a gain of up to 6.2 dBμV. The C1W-PLL uses PLL technology to provide a very stable signal lock, even for difficult signals like low symbol rates or high FEC carriers. It is recommended as a best bargain for C-band enthusiasts due to its high performance and low price.

4. 70% of all shipments were sent to this
local market. “That all changed dramati-
cally in 2011”, reveals Tim to us, “Export
shipments sharply increased to 60%.”
The largest increase was for shipments
to South America (30%); other large
markets for DMS International are India,
Africa and surprisingly Portugal. “Some
shipments from Portugal find their way
back to Brazil”, says Tim regarding the
occasionally roundabout paths that can
be taken in the global marketplace.
As a satellite wholesaler, DMS Inter-
national for many years sold everything
that an installer would need. It’s not like
that today anymore. DMS International
is now concentrating on a few product
segments. “Our largest sales item is
satellite signal analyzers at around 50%.
We produce analyzers under the brand
name ‘First Strike’.” Tim wants to take
the newest version of these analyzers
and further expand his export business:
“My goal is analyzers that can be used
anywhere in the world.” Another impor-
tant segment is LNBs: “They account for
roughly 25% of our sales.” That is only
accomplished because DMS Interna-
tional sells large numbers of LNBs; the
margin with LNBs has in the meantime
become very small. “We also sell multi-
switches, receivers and dishes.”
Vicky has some more numbers for us:
“In 2011 we sold about 30,000 signal
analyzers, roughly 100,000 LNBs and
around 15,000 receivers.” In 2008 DMS
International began marketing their
own line of signal analyzers under the
brand name ‘First Strike’ and the first
model FS1. The successor model FS2 is
planned for release when this report is
published and will soon after be supple-
mented by the FS2Pro. The FS2Pro will
be for DVB-S2 with a color display and
- according to the plan - a GPS receiver
for the direct display of satellite antenna
data (azimuth and elevation). “Our sig-
nal analyzers are not modified satellite
receivers; instead they are true mea-
surement instruments”, comments Tim,
“that provide comparable measurement
data.” Additional ‘First Strike’ mod-
els include a cable TV analyzer as well
as a terrestrial model. “We’re making
sure that these signal analyzers can be
used internationally. The cable analyzer
will operate on an expanded frequency
range so that it will cover every possible
cable TV network.” Tim has something
