TVRO (Television Receive-Only) refers to satellite dishes used for receiving satellite television signals. These dishes are typically larger than DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) dishes and are commonly used for receiving programming from satellites located in geostationary orbit. TVRO systems were popular before the advent of smaller DBS dishes.
Satellite dishes that beam radio waves to satellites above the Earth are typically referred to as ground stations or satellite uplink dishes. These dishes are designed to transmit signals to satellites in geostationary or low Earth orbits, enabling communication for television broadcasting, internet services, and other data transmission. They usually have a parabolic shape to focus the radio waves into a narrow beam directed towards the satellite.
Down in the Shacks Where the Satellite Dishes Grow was created in 1992.
satellite is satellite
The average size of a satellite dish is from 1.5 to 2 yards. Residential satellite dishes are usually smaller, while satellite dishes for commercial use tend to be larger.

definition of optical satellite communication
The first communication satellite was Echo NASA
Most communication satellites orbit at or near the equator. In the northern hemisphere this is obviously to the south. In the southern hemisphere it is to the north, so the dishes would point north.
DISH Network satellite dishes must face a certain direction in order to allow the dish to correctly align with the necessary satellite orbitals.
satellite dishes are not composed of flesh
They help us communicate with the (artificial) satellites. We can receive tv and radio programs from them, we can bounce telephone and data communication off them and so on.
