Overview

This HTS classification covers apparatus specifically designed for receiving television signals that have been relayed via a television satellite. These devices are essential components of satellite television systems, enabling the decoding and display of television programming transmitted from orbiting satellites. Examples include satellite receivers, set-top boxes used in satellite reception, and satellite dish decoders. The primary function is the reception and processing of satellite television broadcasts for viewer consumption.

While the parent category encompasses a broader range of transmission apparatus for radio and television, this specific subcategory is limited to the *reception* aspect of satellite television. It is distinguished from transmission-only devices or combined transmission/reception units by its singular focus on receiving signals from a television satellite.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level requires careful consideration of the apparatus's inherent design and intended use solely for the reception of satellite-relayed television signals, differentiating it from other types of television receivers or signal processing equipment.
