The first Satellite Television transmission was sent from Europe to the US via Telstar in 1962. Although amateur home satellite systems (requiring very large dishes) debuted in 1976, their legal status was in flux until the passage of the Satellite Home Viewers Act in 1979. The first DBS system (what we use now) was Primestar in 1991 followed by DirecTV in 1994 and Dish in 1996.

Satellite signals for TV began in 1962. The satellite signal was from Europe to Telestar Satellite over North America. The first national satellite network originated in the Soviet Union in 1967. The first domestic Noth America satellite was produced in 1972.

What are some benefits of cable television over satellite television?

The benefits of cable over satellite is mainly the contract. With cable you are not forced to sign a 1 or two year contract to be able to watch tv. You will not have wires hanging all around your home with cable which can be annoying. Another thing is you can watch the same cable in many different rooms without having to rent additional cable boxes for other tvs. For cable television, you need only the cable box to connect the coaxial cable from the wall to your television. With satellite television, you need the receiver as well as the dish. Cable television will generally continue to be viewable during inclement weather, while satellite television will often go out during storms. With satellite television, you may periodically need to replace or reset the dish, as it can be knocked from its position or damaged.
