The Sky Box is just one way to enjoy High Definition television. There are a few other services that can broadcast High Definition Television to your home. It may depend on what services are available in your area.
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
i should imagine its because EM waves can travel through a vacuum so that's why it is possible for satellites to broadcast information from impulse signals sent from outer space

The broadcast center is the central hub of the system. At the broadcast center or the Playout & Uplink location, the television provider receives signals from various programming sources, compresses these signals using digital compression (scrambling if necessary), and beams a broadcast signal to the proper satellite. The satellite receives the signal from the broadcast station and rebroadcast them to the ground. The viewer's dish picks up the signal from the satellite (or multiple satellites in the same part of the sky) and passes it on to the receiver in the viewer's house. The receiver processes the signal and passes it on to a standard television. This was found in the year 1974.
Sky 1 is a great network broadcast that can be watched in the comfort in your home (movies, tv shows, ect...) Unfortunately for you Sky 1 is only available in Europe.
There are thousands of satellites currently orbiting the Earth. The exact number can vary, as new satellites are launched and old ones are decommissioned regularly.
Sky One is only broadcast in the United Kingdom and is not available in the USA. There are no plans to change this at this point in time. It is UK's premium entertainment channel.
