The DSTV decoder connects to a Satellite Dish on the top of your house. That dish receives a digital satellite television (DSTV) signal. Your decoder then decodes this signal and outputs it into your TV.
Digital satellietes transmit your tv stations to your dish network. When you have your dish or satellite tv set up to get digital stations, it transmits back from the satellite to your tv.
Satellite television service, just like cable, was unaffected by the digital television switch.
In general, for basic packages it is about even. Depending on what you like to watch and what you are willing to pay, satellite has a wider selection to cherry pick from particularly when you are looking for foriegn language channels.

Satellite TV Providers transmits the signals through their satellite dish converting it first from digital signals to analog signals. These signals which were converted will be transmitted to the satellite. The satellite will then transmit the analog signals per request of the satellite dish connected to the receiver of the subscriber. Once signals are received, it will be converted back to digital signals which can be read by the receiver and be displayed to the television.

Satellite seems to be just a little faster than digital cable. Also outages are less frequent with satellite than they are with cable. If they do occur they are always much shorter in duration than the cable.
No. All satellite TV is digital now. Some satellite TV is HD now, and more will be switching from HD to "standard" resolution. The February 2009 analog-to-digital switchover in the United States has nothing to do with HD. The digital conversion changes the format of the over-the-air broadcast channels from analog to all digital. But if you have satellite or cable TV, you don't get "broadcast" signals anyway.
