The Digital
Satellite System (DSS) was developed by Hughes
Electronics Corporation under the Direct TV name. Hughes
has long been a major manufacturer and operator of
communications satellites, and established (started
testing) Direct TV in 1990. The first high power Hughes
satellite DBS-1 was launched in 1993 at 101 degrees, and
two more have since been launched into the same slot to
give DSS a capacity of 200+ channels.
DBS orbital
frequencies at 101 degrees were owned by Direct TV and
USSB, and in 1991 these two companies formed an
agreement to market their combined channels under the
DSS name using the Hughes DBS satellites and the DSS
equipment. Direct TV has since bought out USSB and
discontinued using DSS as a trade name.

States Broadcasting, Inc. (USSB) was established in 1981
as a subsidiary of Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc., and was
one of the original DBS license in the US.
The 18 inch
dish and the digital receivers are manufactured under
license by several manufacturers and sold under the
popular consumer names such as RCA, Sony, Hughes, and
others.
