'''Dream Satellite TV''' is the first all-digital [[Direct-To-Home]] (DTH) [[television]] broadcasting service via [[satellite]] in the [[Philippines]].
Broadcasting from the Dream Broadcast Center located at the [[Clark Special Economic Zone]] in [[Pampanga]], channel content is received from program providers, compressed and broadcast via Koreasat 5 (Mugunghwa 5)<ref>Dream TV Taps South Korea's Mugunghwa 5 Satellite: http://www.mb.com.ph/node/236266</ref> in [[Digital Video Broadcasting|DVB-S]] and [[NTSC]] color format exclusively to its subscribers using the Integrated Receiver-Decoder and the Conax Nagravision 2 Encryption System.<ref>Dream Satellite TV on Koreasat 5 at 113.0°E: http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dream.html</ref> Because of the DTH technology, all remote locations, areas beyond cable access and even on Philippine coastal waters, are reachable by the Dream Satellite TV service; the broadcast signal is always clear wherever the subscriber is.<ref>Dream Satellite TV About Us: http://www.dream.com.ph/aboutus/about_profile.asp</ref>

To receive Dream's broadcasting signals, subscribers must acquire a 55&nbsp;cm in diameter [[satellite dish]] [[Antenna (radio)|antenna]], an Integrated Receiver-Decoder (IRD) and a Dream Conditional Access Card ([[Smart Card]]). To provide security and protection, the satellite signals of Dream shall be encrypted using a Conditional Access System. Thus, exclusive use of Dream programs and services will only be available to Dream subscribers.


== History ==

In April 1997, Dream was incorporated to the Philippine Multi-Media System, Inc. (PMSI). On February 6, 1998, the Philippine Congress passed into law Republic Act No. 8630 which granted PMSI a franchise to construct, install, maintain and operate for commercial purposes and in the public interest, television and radio broadcasting in the Philippines. The franchise term is 25 years. On February 1, 2000, The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) granted a provisional authority to engage in Direct-To-Home (DTH) satellite services. On February 7, 2001, the PMSI inaugurates its Dream Broadcasting Center at Clark Development Center, and on April 22, 2001, the commercial launch of Dream Broadcasting System, the first DTH system in the Philippines, took place.<ref>Dream Satellite TV Historical Highlights: http://www.dream.com.ph/aboutus/about_history.asp?npage=66</ref>

==Status of competition and controversy==
'''Dream Satellite TV''' filed a complaint with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) against Global Broadcasting and Multimedia, Inc. ([[G Sat]]) for offering A DTH service in the Philippines without a franchise and a license from Philippine authorities, namely the Philippine Congress for a broadcast franchise and the NTC for a Certificate of Public Convenience .<ref>[http://abs-cbnnews.com/business/01/19/09/dreamtv-operator-seeks-regulator-help-over-satellite-tv-dispute Dream TV operator seeks regulator help over satellite TV dispute] retrieved via www.abs-cbnnews.com 01-19-2009</ref>
Aside from Dream, the Lopez group [[SkyCable]] also filed a similar complaint against GBMI. It argued that GBMI's illegal entry into the industry will result in the unnecessary duplication of an existing service that existing cable TV and DTH-TV service providers already adequately provide.
