Yes. Since the signal is beamed from space, anything in the path of it, even smoke/heavy cloud cover, can cause interference.
-To capture television signals -To receive the signal from the satellites
Yes microwave signals from geostationary satellites are attenuated as the signals pass through rain and snow storms. The TV picture pixellates and freezes during heavy downpours. The signal strength at the dish can be monitored by selecting 'signal test' on the satellite installation menu via the remote. Incidentally the mobile, or cell phone, transmitter network can be used as a real time weather station reporter. The signal strength needed to transmit and receive microwave call signals is dependent on the weather conditions in the area a t the time.
A GPS receiver gets its signal from a network of orbiting satellites that transmit location and timing data. The receiver uses this information to calculate its own position on Earth by triangulating the signals from multiple satellites.
have a tv station and transmit a signal
You can use the dish but not the LNB; it will not work for dtv. The DISH Network LNB and the receiver decodes the signal and gives you a picture on your TV.
The correct signal for satellite TV is determined by the direction the satellite dish is pointed. DirecTV and Dish Network signals come out of the Southern sky from the direction directly above Texas. Many other satellites orbit the earth and send out audio and video signals of all different types and formats. Simply put, a satellite dish is like a catchers mitt and will catch any signal coming from the satellite it is aimed towards. The signal received will need to be properly matched with the in house receivers and equipment in order to work properly. For example, if a Dish Network dish is aimed towards a DirecTV satellite signal, the system will not work.
You get unusable signal on your TV because your TV is not on the correct input setting to pick up the signal from your device (DISH Network or other provider). You only need to change the input setting to find the correct input to get the signal.
A GPS receiver gets its signal from a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites continuously transmit signals that the GPS receiver uses to calculate its position and determine accurate time information. By receiving signals from multiple satellites, the GPS receiver can triangulate its position with high precision.
No, you are not able to use the LNB from DISH Network and receive dtv signal. Our receivers and LNB decode the signal to bring the picture to your TV.
I just wanted to clarify that Bell Canada provides the DISH Network signal from our satellites in space. Everything from the receiver to the dish is provided by Bell Canada.

This will be different depending on your location. In most places the signal travels through cables, but in some remote areas satellites and dishes are used
