it receives it by signals
The difference between satellite tv service and cable is satellite tv offers more channels and are more expenisve. No, they don't receive their signals from a satellite.
A Satellite Dish is used to receive and transmit signals which contains different information to or from the satellite.
Satellites receive signals from Earth using antennas that are pointed towards the ground. The signals are sent from ground stations and relayed to the satellite. The satellite then processes the signal and can transmit it back to Earth or to another satellite.
It was built to receive the signal from the first commercial communications satellite Telstar. Goonhilly was built in the far south-west of England so as to be as close as possible to the USA, where signals were being transmitted to and from.
Yes, a TV with an internal HD receiver can receive Free-to-Air (FTA) satellite signals, provided it has a built-in satellite tuner. To access FTA channels, you'll need to properly align a satellite dish to the correct satellite and connect it to the TV. Additionally, ensure that the TV's settings are configured to scan for available satellite channels. If the TV lacks a satellite tuner, you would need an external satellite receiver to receive FTA signals.
For a laptop (or any computer) to receive signals from a satellite you must add a receiver card. This could be external (USB interface) or internal (PCMCIA for a laptop, PCI for a regular PC). The receiver card has to be fed signals from a satellite antenna or a satellite dish with amplifier converter, known as an LNB. You do not say what signal you want from the satellite. You can watch TV or download data using a satellite receiver card, for this you will need a subscription with a satellite ADSL provider, who will also offer you the card and the software.
