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.

Does television kill brain cells?
No television does not rot your mind. Reaserch from Matthew Genzkow has proven that introducing television at an early age has increased test scores by .02 percent from 1960 to now. Barnabee Walters
Does direct tv have bad weather blackouts like dish network?
Inclement weather affects all satellites. Even cable, local stations and other pay television companies use satellite technology which can be affected by weather. If you get a good installation, you should not have few, if any problems. Although rare, your satellite TV dish may also have been hit by flying debris from a storm knocking it out of alignment; if you are having issues with light storms you may want to call for a tech visit to have them take a look as this should not affect your programming.
5 ways satellites are used in ecological studies?
Satellites affect our lives every day, and we don't even realize it. They make our lives safer, more convinient, and provide entertainment. Satellites are in charge of why we watch television, use the telephone, have GPS, and are able to predict the weather. it helps determine the climate and it monitors the enviornment. Also it provides us with development of land terrains. Also astrophysicists are allowed more knowlege of space.
How did colored TVs affect workplace?
Unless you worked in a TV network, most workplaces did not have TVs, colored or otherwise.
Why doesn't an orbiting sat elite fall back to earth?
It's travelling forward through space at sufficient speed to balance out the effects of gravity. Either that - or it's sufficiently far enough from Earth that gravity cannot pull it back to the surface. Here's two examples.. a TV satellite and the GPS network. In the case of a TV satellite - it needs to 'follow' the rotation of the Earth - so that it keeps transmitting TV to the same area on the planet. TV satellites are in low orbits - and thus need to move fast enough to stop gravity pulling them back to earth. For the GPS network - the satellites need to remain stationary in orbit - in order for accurate data to be received by devices. The GPS satellites need to remain in a static position - and thus are orbiting far enough from the Earth that gravity doesn't affect them.
How do satellites affect people?
Satelite Radio is available in some countries. TV signals beamed straight from the Satelite is also used. Satelelite Moble Phones have been around for quite a few years.
Ways of investigating the universe?
hubble telescope satellities holoscopes all of these are used for everyday life and some of then affect are lives but people do not realize. Satellies make are lives safer and provides entertainment. This is a list of name what job a satellites do! Television, mobile phones, Navigation, Telephones, Business & Finance, Space Science, development, Weather, Climate and Environmental Monitoring, Land Stewardship and safety.
How do forces affect the motion of satellites?
because the gravitational pull which is a force moves the satellites
Can cold weather affect LCD TV?
Particularly cold temperatures can affect both cold cathode back lighting as well as the speed at which the crystals can change state. However, both of them will correct themselves once the television has reached a normal internal temperature. Electronics are generally much better able to handle cold temperatures than we are so the viewers will be affect by the cold sooner than a television will be damaged.
Does the large amount of weather data gathered by various modern technologies affect the accuracy of weather foreasts?
Absolutely! The use of technology including advanced radar, accurate instrumentation, radiosondes, and weather satellites have improved forecast accuracy to within a few days. In the days prior to some of this technology, weather forecasting was much more inaccurate.
Does your global position affect the type of weather you experiment?
If you mean the weather you experience, then yes. The weather can change in a range of less than a mile or kilometer. When a rain cloud comes over, it will rain on you before it rains on your neighbour only a short distance away. Watch the forecasts on the TV. They spend a lot of time explaining why the weather is doing this over here and that over there etc.
How does weather effects seasons?
Weather doesn't AFFECT (not effect) seasons, seasons AFFECT weather.
What do satellites do during hurricanes?
Take pictures of the hurricane. Satellites are outside the atmosphere. Hurricanes only affect things in the atmosphere.
