Yes. You need a satellite dish and a reciever. Most come from the satellite companies often free of charge for a subscription to their service.

How does the proper satellite signal get to the TV channel?

The correct signal for satellite TV is determined by the direction the satellite dish is pointed. DirecTV and Dish Network signals come out of the Southern sky from the direction directly above Texas. Many other satellites orbit the earth and send out audio and video signals of all different types and formats. Simply put, a satellite dish is like a catchers mitt and will catch any signal coming from the satellite it is aimed towards. The signal received will need to be properly matched with the in house receivers and equipment in order to work properly. For example, if a Dish Network dish is aimed towards a DirecTV satellite signal, the system will not work.

If you have satellite internet can you get satellite tv?

If you can get a signal for your satellite Internet service, then without a doubt, you can also get a signal for satellite TV service AND the other way around also. The one thing you must know is that a no matter what anyone tells you, having both services will require two separate satellite dishes. The same provider that supplies you with Internet service can't provide TV, and vice versa. For satellite Internet, you'll need to use HughesNet, WildBlue, Starband, or Skyway USA, and for satellite TV, you'll need to use DIRECTV or Dish Network. That's why you'll need two separate dishes.

To receive a Satellite signal, you need a LNB which is attached to your satellite dish--The LNB and dish is determined by which satellite TV service you have--either Dish Network or DirecTV. The satellite dish is pointed in a particular direction to pick up the correct satellite orbiting the sky. You will also need a satellite receiver, which is "wired" to the LNB and also is attached to your television.
