Yes, that's why when you see them on buildings, they're either on the roofs or pointing towards an open sky. Weather has a factor too. Heavy cloud coverage can slow info down, but they are getting better at it.
It depends on what kind of motorhome and when you want to watch Dish TV. If you will be mobile and wanting television, you will need a self adjusting satellite dish; there are also stationary satellite dishes available. As far as a satellite system, I prefer Dish TV because of the price, channel selection and technology. Dish Network also has a affordable portable satellite dish that does not attach to your motor-home called the Dish Tailgater.
spot beams are usually for local channels beamed into a certain area. they have nothing to do with tuning the satellite dish.

Good sir, my satellite dish is located on the side of my house. That reminds me, Cash in the Attic is on! Plum home plate in baseball

it receives it by signals
Satellite TV Providers transmits the signals through their satellite dish converting it first from digital signals to analog signals. These signals which were converted will be transmitted to the satellite. The satellite will then transmit the analog signals per request of the satellite dish connected to the receiver of the subscriber. Once signals are received, it will be converted back to digital signals which can be read by the receiver and be displayed to the television.
The DSTV decoder connects to a Satellite Dish on the top of your house. That dish receives a digital satellite television (DSTV) signal. Your decoder then decodes this signal and outputs it into 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.
The satellite signal uses microwave radiation and water absorbs microwaves. So when it rains or there are thick clouds the signal from the satellite gets absorbed and if enough is lost by this process your Dish Network receiver will lose signal
There are no requirements to set up a satellite dish if you are just looking to receive a signal. There are signal transmitting requirements if you wish to project a signal that goes through licensing, content, and national standards.
Each satellite TV dish can be a different shape depending on what provider you have. Dish Network satellites are more round -- the reason they are round is to get the best possible signal using the LNB (a device attached to the dish) and the specific curvature of the dish; since all TV, Cable and satellite providers use some form of satellite to get your programming each dish is a slightly different shape depending upon what satellite they are pointing to in the sky.
Not possible. Due to the high frequency (4-12 Gigahertz) of the transmitted signal, it cannot pass through buildings and other objects. Therefore the dish needs a 'line of sight' to the satellite.
The LNB takes the signal reflected off the dish, sends that signal through the coax cable to the receiver, where the receiver decodes the signal unlocking the channels you subscribe to.
No, it will definitely not. It has to be outside, and facing the sky. If it is covered up in the attick, it cannot get signal.
You can get satellite TV to work virtually anywhere as long as you have a clear line of sight for the signal. Each company (e.g. Dish satellite , DirecTV) has different satellite orbitals, so it will vary by company as to where your Dish is pointed.
