Do satellite dishes work in foreign countries?

A satellite dish is a fairly generic piece of equipment so they are likely to operate anywhere. The receiver is rather different. Some receivers are locked to single operators and will need to be receiving signals from that operator to work. Others can receive signals from any operator. Satellite signals are transmitted from a satellite to a specified area. A US based broadcaster will generally aim to deliver signals to US locations only. Moving the dish and receiver to another country may result in no signal being obtained because the satellite footprint simply doesn't cover the new location. Other satellite broadcasts may be found with a different satellite but the encoded (premium) channels won't be seen as the encryption prevents viewing without a subscription. There are options in most parts of the world but it's worth doing the research first before packing your satellite dish into your carry on luggage.
