Sign in to saveAlso known as satellite TV
television content transmitted via signals from orbiting satellites
Satellite television delivers TV programs to your home by receiving signals that are beamed from satellites orbiting in space rather than through ground-based cables or antennas. This technology matters because it can reach remote areas where traditional TV infrastructure isn't available, and it offers viewers access to a wide range of channels and content.

Encyclopedic overview
A number of satellite dishes
Satellite television is a service that delivers television programming to viewers by relaying it from a communications satellite orbiting the Earth directly to the viewer's location. The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic antenna commonly referred to as a satellite dish and a low-noise block downconverter.
