Although the original purpose of FSS was to transport signals (including broadcast signals) to fixed commercial receiving sites (e.g. cable head ends, regional broadcasting stations, telephone company receiving points), FSS signals have since been made available to individual households using private TVROs [television receiving only]. This secondary activity of FSS is referred to as DTH [direct-to-home broadcasting].  3, record 1, English, - direct%2Dto%2Dhome%20satellite%20system

Bien que le but des «FSS» [fixed satellite services] fut initialement de transporter des signaux (incluant les signaux de radiodiffusion) à des sites de réception commerciaux fixes (p. ex. : tête de ligne de câble, stations de radiodiffusion régionales, sites de réception des compagnies de téléphone), les signaux «FSS» ont depuis été mis à la disposition des foyers utilisant des antennes paraboliques privées. Cette activité secondaire des «FSS» est appelée SRD.  2, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20radiodiffusion%20directe%20du%20satellite%20au%20foyer
