The difference between satellite tv service and cable is satellite tv offers more channels and are more expenisve. No, they don't receive their signals from a satellite.
Just as with television or satellite , this is to transmit video signals
A Satellite Dish is used to receive and transmit signals which contains different information to or from the satellite.
Satellite TV Providers transmits the signals through their satellite dish converting it first from digital signals to analog signals. These signals which were converted will be transmitted to the satellite. The satellite will then transmit the analog signals per request of the satellite dish connected to the receiver of the subscriber. Once signals are received, it will be converted back to digital signals which can be read by the receiver and be displayed to the television.
Almost 90 percent of public and private television stations transmit signals via satellite
Off air through your own antenna, cable and satellite.
Some TV receivers, such as DirecTV and Dish Network, do receive signals beamed from satellites. If you see a dish-shaped antenna pointed up, that's a location that uses satellite TV. Even if your system does not receive direct satellite signals, many of the programs that you watch are most likely transmitted via satellite at some point in getting the program to you.
Satellite radio signals are not affected by rain and weather.
Egyptians, like the rest of the world, (Mexicans, Italians, Japanese, etc) receive over the air TV signals, satellite TV signals, and cable TV signals. So the answer to this astoundingly stupid question is YES!
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.
Umm, to get satellite tv or other signals.
{| |- | Satellites are used for many purposes. Pictures of cloud patterns and other atmospheric events are used in weather prediction. They can receive and re-transmit all types of communications signals. This includes television, telephone calls and satellite radio signals. The can provide data that allows the Global Positioning Devices to pinpoint your current location. |}
