     No matter how much we hate and criticize them, reality shows are fun to watch. Most of the reality tv shows revolve around a particular issue or event that audience can relate to and from that is built a show. Since many reality shows being aired every week, the concepts behind most of the shows have become monotonous and boring. And today’s audience prefer watching those reality shows that have a great entertaining value and can truly connect with the audience. But at times, it becomes difficult to come up with some original and fun ideas for reality shows that can hold the audience interest on a long run. If you are an aspiring, professional writer and looking for some unique reality tv show ideas, here are some pitching reality show ideas that will not only promote the television show but the writer too.

    Reality TV Show Ideas

     Have a Specific Concept: One of the most basic concept of a successful show is to judge accurately what the market is buying or what exactly your audience want to see on tv channels. Be specific in your concept, even if you have a generic idea, try to run your creative mind in a specific direction. Decide whether you are preparing a concept or idea for a reality series, tv game show, drama series, etc. Don’t be scared to create two or more variations on the same concept, as each of those will give you a different result which will increase your chance of making more sale. Hence, come up with a thought which is unique, never tried before and apply different approaches on it. read more »

     Earth stations are categorized by the size of the earth station antenna. Large earth station has antenna with 10 to 30 meters in diameter. Small earth station has antenna with diameter between 1 to 10 meters. VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) earth station has antenna with 0.3 to 1 meter in diameter. There are three earth station system parameters need to be considered when designing satellite links. The first one is transmitter EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) which is equal to Pt (transmitter output power) × Gt (transmit antenna gain). EIRP measures the signal power sends out from the transmit earth station. The second parameter is the earth station Figure of Merit which is equal to G (receive antenna gain) ÷ T (system noise temperature). G/T measures the sensitivity of the receiving system and the quality of the received signal. The third parameter is the earth station system noise temperature which measures the amount of noise power generated by the receive earth station.

     The main objective of satellite link design is to maximize link data rate while minimizing the BER (Bit Error Rate) at the receiver subjects to the constraint of received power and channel bandwidth. The BER of a satellite link is a function of Eb/No (energy per bit noise density ratio) in the information channel. A satellite communications system designer must attempt to ensure a minimum Eb/No in the receiver channels to satisfy the link BER criteria which also meet the constraints on satellite transmit power and RF bandwidth. In digital transmission, Eb/No in a baseband channel depends on C/N (carrier to noise ratio) of the receiver, the type of modulation used in the baseband channel and the channel bandwidth. Hence, the main concern in design and analysis of satellite link is to calculate and evaluate the link C/N in which C is the received carrier power in the earth station/satellite and N is the noise plus interference (caused by earth stations of adjacent satellite) power in the receiver. read more »

     You can connect your PC or a laptop to TV, if the PC has Windows XP or above. There are many ways to connect a PC to a TV, all the needed is the proper cabling.

     Check the TV and PC features to see exactly what is required to connect. If it is an older TV, it may have only a composite connection (three wire cable with red, yellow, white connectors). Newer TV’s will usually have HDMI, component, VGA, and/or DVI inputs. Modern computers will have VGA or DVI outputs. A lot of laptops will also have S-Video or some variant of Mini/Micro-DVI.

     TV with a VGA or DVI input is the best-case scenario. In this case, an adaptor is not required but an additional audio cable is required. Check the TV for either a 3.5mm stereo plug or the white and red plugs from a composite cable associated with the VGA/DVI input. If it is the red/white composite audio inputs, the cable will have to be red/white plug on one end and a 3.5mm stereo plug on the other. The 3.5mm plug will go into the PC’s headphone/speaker output socket.

     Another best-case scenario would be if the PC has an HDMI or DVI (with sound) output and the TV has an HDMI input. For this scenario all the needed is an HDMI cable or an HDMI cable plus a DVI to HDMI adaptor. For the rest of the connections suitable adaptor is required. read more »
