It is used via satellites serving every continent of the world. DVB-S is used in both multiple channel per carrier and single channel per carrier modes for broadcast network feeds as well as for direct-broadcast satellite services like Sky UK and Ireland via Astra in Europe, Dish Network and Globecast in the U.S. and Bell Satellite TV in Canada.
While the actual DVB-S standard only specifies physical link characteristics and framing, the overlaid transport stream delivered by DVB-S is mandated as MPEG-2, known as MPEG [transport stream].
Some amateur television repeaters also use this mode in the 1.2 GHz amateur band.
