Editing DVB-S2 (section)

== Use cases ==
{{Update|date=April 2023|reason=This section is stated as if DVB-S2 was not yet rolled out; it's been rolled out for more than a decade.|part=section}}
Envisaged scenarios for DVB-S2 by the standard document are:

* Broadcasting television services in SDTV or HDTV. Optionally, this transmission may be backwards compatible with DVB-S, but does not benefit from the 30% extra bandwidth.
* Interactive services including Internet access. Data generated by the user may be sent by cable (copper/fibre optic), [[mobile wireless communication|mobile wireless]], or satellite uplink ([[DVB-RCS]]).
* Professional applications, where data must be multiplexed in real time and then broadcast in the VHF/UHF band (e.g., digital TV contribution, satellite news gathering). These transmissions are not intended for the average viewer.
* Large-scale data content distribution. These include point-to-point and multicast services, as well as transmission to head-ends for (re-)distribution over other media.
