The present document forms the specification for the provision of the interaction channel for GEO satellite interactive networks with fixed return channel satellite terminals (RCST). The present document facilitates the use of RCSTs for individual or collective installation (e.g. SMATV) in a domestic environment. It also supports the connection of such terminals with in-house data networks. The present document may be applied to all frequency bands allocated to GEO satellite services. The solutions provided for interaction channel for satellite interactive networks are a part of a wide set of alternatives to implement interactive services through Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) systems. The revision accomplished in 2002 provides the means to extend the applicability of the standard to regenerative satellite systems. This revision also allows for reduction in terminal costs without significantly impacting the performance.
