This paper  introduces  an  LNB-based  DVB-S  receiver  with  respect  to  sync  byte  detection.  The basic configuration of DVB-S for decoding is the major focus of this work, where the main task is to decode the received signal from the satellite with a good SNR. Sync-byte detection is one of the challenges of receiver design. An algorithm is developed to overcome the problems associated with Sync-byte detection which can efficiently perform Sync-byte detection.  After  decoding  the  signal,  the  SNR  is  found  to  be  9.62  dB,  which represents quiet a good signal. A channel list is identified in the final result
