There is an orbit called a geosynchronous orbit (GEO), which is a satellite that travels around the Earth in the Earth's exact speed, so it's always in the same position as the Earth. GEOs are used for communication nowadays, and so ground stations are always in contact with the satellites. That means that your T.V. programs and phone calls are never interrupted! :D

Do television satellites use infrared waves to transmit?

Television satellites do not use infrared waves to transmit signals; instead, they primarily use radio waves, specifically in the microwave frequency range. These microwaves are effective for long-distance communication, allowing satellites to transmit audio and video data back to Earth. Infrared waves, while used in certain applications like remote controls and some optical communication systems, are not suitable for the large-scale transmission required by television broadcasting.
