Satellite Television suppliers use a number of technologies, most all of which in some way relate to the electronics industry. The video signal is sent up and down in a digital format, and it is digitally encrypted on the uplink and decrypted by the downlink receiver on your end. All of this could be grouped under "computer science" as it's all digital. The electronics portions use electronics technology to make the thing work. Let's look a bit closer.
The signals on the uplink and downlink all operate on microwave frequencies. This is a "new and improved" version of radio signals (microwaves are like radio waves, only higher in frequency) that uses a dish of some sort as an antenna on the earthside ends. All kinds of electronics technology apply here. We also should mention the physics involved in putting the satellite up in space and parking it in orbit. Rockets and satellites operate because mechanical, aeronautical, electrical, electronic and chemical engineers make it happen. There are other engineering aspects included in this as well.
