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.
You are going to want to get an outdoor antenna because the signals in your area are weak. You may want to check with local antenna dealers for the best type of outdoor antenna for your area. Either that or look into cable/satellite tv. You will not get a whole lot of channels if any with just an indoor antenna.
IN COMMUNICATIONS: Satellite uses satellite (orbiting) relay-stations in Space but Terrestrial uses cable or antenna-to-antenna signals based entirely on Earth to broadcast your television, radio or cell-phone :) ++++ IN ASTRONOMY: Terrestrial means Earth- (or planet-) bound; a Satellite is any natural or man-made object that orbits a planet. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth.
An artificial satellite.
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
a man made satellite is a satellite made by man, and sent into space to orbit around a planet, star, or other body in any solar system to gather information and pictures about it.
No - there is no surface to land on.
any object man made or natural, big or small which rotates around a planet is called it's satellite
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.
No. Satellite signals are very weak- after all, they are small devices, trying to spray a signal all over a continent. To pick them up requires an antenna pointed directly at them (no fun watching five satellites at the same time!) and a bulky bit of technology called a "low noise amplifier". Neither could be built into an LCD TV. Sorry.
At this time (March 2014), it is not aired on any cable/satellite channel. It can be seen on some retro over-the-air digital channels, such as Antenna TV. It is also available on DVD.
To replace the antenna on a 1956 Thunderbird, first, remove the existing antenna by unscrewing any retaining nuts or screws from the base. Then, disconnect any wiring associated with the antenna. Install the new antenna by securing it in place with the retaining hardware and reconnecting any wires. Finally, test the antenna to ensure proper functionality.
No, it was far too crude to have any value as a spy satellite. Basically it was an experiment to see if things could be launched into orbit and made to function there.
