A satellite dish is just a reflector of radio waves, and made in the shape of a parabola. The actual aerial bit is placed at the focus of the parabola, so you are getting all the energy that fell on the area of the dish.

It will receive the energy transmitted from a particular satellite - usually an entertainment one.
