A satellite receiver can be aimed in any direction if it's a swivel type of receiver or a hand held type of receiver. A mounted or fixed receiver cannot because it hasn't been designed with the capability to change direction. Usually a good receiver for televisions, telescopes, and other devices will have the ability to change their position.

From where could one purchase an inexpensive satellite radio receiver?
One can purchase an inexpensive satellite radio receiver from any outlet store that sells electronics and appliances as well as online at websites that sell satellite radio receivers.
Does the laptop receive signals for a satellite?
For a laptop (or any computer) to receive signals from a satellite you must add a receiver card. This could be external (USB interface) or internal (PCMCIA for a laptop, PCI for a regular PC). The receiver card has to be fed signals from a satellite antenna or a satellite dish with amplifier converter, known as an LNB. You do not say what signal you want from the satellite. You can watch TV or download data using a satellite receiver card, for this you will need a subscription with a satellite ADSL provider, who will also offer you the card and the software.
What is pogee?
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
What is the function of the navigation satillite?
Satellite Navigation The U.S. govt launched satellites that triangulate any spot on the globe and give your location if you have the device that receives their signal. For further clarification, GPS receiver units time a signal sent from a satellite and through the use of extremely accurate clocks, calculate the time it took for the signal to reach the receiver from the satellite. Knowing the speed that these signals travel allows the receiver to calculate a distance from the satellite which results in a line of position (LOP). Obtaining a minimum of three of these LOPs allows the receiver to accurately determine the receiver's position on the face of the earth. Having a fourth LOP will also allow the determination of the elevation, or height, of the receiver.
What does searching for satellite signal mean when trying to hook up a satellite receiver and TV in a campground?
My wild guess would be: The satellite antenna you brought with you to the campground is not accurately pointed at the satellite you're trying to receive from, and consequently the receiver can't hear the bird. Either that, or else there are trees in the way between you and the satellite. Whatever the specific root cause, that message means the receiver isn't hearing any satellite signal. So in addition to the suggestions above, some others are: -- a bird sat on the end of the feed at the focus of the dish, and dropped a moist, radio-opaque load on it; -- the cable came loose at the dish; -- the cable got pinched in a hinge somewhere between the dish and the receiver, and broke; -- the cable came loose at the back of the receiver; -- a power supply failed somewhere, and the LNB at the dish isn't getting any power; -- the "front end" of the receiver has failed;
What is it meant by apogee and perigee?
Both of those words refer to points in the orbit of an earth satellite ... the moon or any artificial satellite. Apogee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is farthest from the earth. Perigee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is closest to the earth.
Why does a satellite doesn't charge it's direction quickly?
Any quick change of direction requires a powerful force (according to Newton's Second Law).
How does a satellite dish connect to a computer?
A satellite dish is designed to connect to a satellite receiver unit. Generally they are dedicated devices. There are a few satellite receiver cards or devices that can be installed into a computer and will operate as a video input card for the computer. These are specialist devices and will not be found as a standard feature on any computer. Normally, to capture a video feed, the output form a dedicated satellite receiver would be connected to a video input port on the computer. Again, the video input is a specialist device typically used in video editing and not usually found as part of a standard computer set up.
Does an electric field have strength but no direction?
It has plenty of direction. The direction of the electric field at any point in it is the direction of the force that would be felt by an infinitesimally small positive charge placed at that point.
