Why do people who live near the north pole have trouble receiving signals from geostationary satellites?

A geo-stationary satellite is 35,560 km above the equator. If you're sitting at the
north pole looking at that satellite, you're looking 8.6 degrees below your horizon.
That's a tough direction to receive satellite signals from.

Geosynchronous satellites above the equator do what?
Geosynchronous satellites ('stationary' ones that is) are usually 36 000 km above the Equator, and thus appear to be fixed relative to a given location on earth. They are comm satellites, but because of the distance, the return trip for a signal to them is about 1/4 second. This delay causes trouble with phone comms. You must have been annoyed by those attempts at 'live' TV interviews via such a system. However, for latitudes above say 55o, the sight path to the satellite becomes closer to to horizontal at that site, and may be blocked by buildings, mountains, etc. To service these latitudes, geostationary satellites are positioned to have their rotation plane inclined to the equator. This improves their performance for comms, but at the expense of them no longer appearing to be stationary in the sky.
