Satellite television technology

Satellite television works by transmitting TV signals from a ground station to a satellite orbiting Earth. The satellite receives these signals and beams them back down to Earth, where your satellite dish catches them. The dish is precisely aligned to the satellite, which sends the signals to your receiver, decoding them into television images and sound. This technology allows for a wide broadcasting range, reaching remote or rural areas where cable or terrestrial signals might not be available. It relies on line-of-sight communication, requiring an unobstructed path between the dish and the satellite for clear reception.
