In Canada, there are two Satellite TV services: Shaw Direct and Bell TV. Satellite TV is also known as DBS or Direct Broadcast Satellite. It relays a signal to the user’s TV via a satellite receiver outside their home, transmitted directly from a satellite orbiting the earth. Many Canadians attempt to subscribe to American Satellite services, something that is not permitted by the CRTC. This black market continues to cause trouble to the Canadian satellite services.
