Satellite television is a broadcasting service that delivers television programming via satellites orbiting the Earth. It works by transmitting signals from a ground station to a satellite, which then beams the signals back down to a dish installed at the viewer's location. This allows users to access a wide range of channels and programming, often including international content. To receive satellite television, viewers need a satellite dish and a receiver. The dish captures the signals from the satellite, while the receiver decodes the information for display on the television. This technology enables access to high-definition channels and various subscription packages, enhancing the viewing experience.
