DVB-S and DVB-S2 transmitters allow the selection of different values of Forward Error Correction. Put simply, forward error correction steals data capacity that would otherwise be used for video and audio, and uses it to correct errors to allow weaker signals to be decoded.

The fraction (for example 2/3) defines how much of the data capacity is available for headers, audio and video. The remainder is used for error correction.

The typical signal to noise required for decoding in each mode and FEC are listed below, together with indicative header+audio+video data rates for 1000 kS.
