S2 from the word satelite, which means satellite, i.e. The unit is responsible for receiving from a satellite dish. The author doesn't understand. It should be T2, the word terristrial, which means terrestrial. This is exactly what the article talks about. There is also C2 from the word cable, i.e. cable, for cable lines.

I started for health, and ended for peace. If your TV doesn't have a smart card, you won't see the satellite. This is where we need to start. AND SMARTS ARE ALL PAID.
