What is the difference between terrestrial TV and satellite TV?

Terrestrial is earthbound. It is broadcast from antenna towers here on Earth. Satellite TV is broadcast by communications satellites from outer space in geosynchronous orbit. They orbit at the same rate that the Earth rotates, therefore they remain "parked" over the same geographic region, relative to the surface of the Earth they are standing still. Terrestrial TV also makes use of satellites, but rather than broadcasting directly to a customers dish, they are broadcasting specifically for re-broadcast by local network affiliates over their terrestrial antennas.

There are several alternatives to cable for HD television. They are dependant on the television and also the location. Terrestrial broadcasts are now being offered in HD. A television with an HD tuner needs no other equipment to receive HD terrestrial broadcasts but a digital HD terrestrial receiver box may be needed. Most areas have satellite coverage. Sky in the UK and Dish Network in the US are two examples. The UK also has the Freesat service - a free satellite service that includes SD and HD broadcasts. A suitable satellite receiver is needed but there is no subscription to be paid. Cable providers provide competitive services to terrestrial and satellite broadcasts but almost all demand a monthly subscription. Depending on the location, satellite and terrestrial broadcasts offer free to air services as well as subscription channels.
