What is "satellite television"?
Satellite television is a method of delivering TV programming to viewers using signals transmitted from satellites orbiting the Earth. These signals are sent to a satellite dish installed at the viewer's location, which captures them and sends them to a receiver connected to the TV. Satellite television provides access to a wide range of channels, including international and specialized ones, often reaching areas where cable services are unavailable. It is commonly used for both live broadcasts and pre-recorded shows, offering high-quality picture and sound.
