A communications satellite is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications. The first satellite launched was the Sputnik I and it weighted about 180 pounds. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments and it was not digital at all. Analog was the stile back then.

Will satellite tv be effected by everything going digital on Feb. 17, 2009?

DTV transition will not affect satellite TV subscribers who receive their local TV stations through their satellite dishes. Satellite TV service is a digital service and all satellite subscribers must have a set-top box connected to their TVs to receive the satellite-delivered programming. you should check with your provider to find out if you receive a local TV station package through your satellite dish just to make sure. Your satellite TV system may be using digital technology as a more efficient way of delivering analog programming to you but if you have an analog television set, then you are probably not getting digital. Bottom line� your satellite tv service might be fine but your tv will not be.
