Why are communication satellites in geosynchronous orbits What is the prime advantage of lEOs?

Regarding the communications satellite orbit; a geosynchronous orbit is one that keeps the satellite in one position in the sky. It is a spot in space about 22,000 miles away that the satellite will orbit the earth once a day, so it is moving the same speed as the earth rotates and appears to never move. If your dish network satellite was not in geosynchrous orbit, you would need a device to turn your dish and there would be periods that the satellite would be over a different part of the world, like the sun and moon. They would slip over the horizon and you wouldn't be able to watch TV for a while.

Are tivo's compatible with HD tv's?

Tivo's are compatible with HDTV with many combinations of hardware and performance. # Tivo's HDseries3 records and plays back HDTV signals for best HDTV experience. You need the HD signal from satellite, cable, or (antenna) channels. The series3 has the HDTV format NTSC tuner and is reverse compatible with the old analog ATSC tuner capabilities. # The FCC mandated that all DVDR'S manufactured after March 2007 be HDTV compatible. TIVO ended series2 production and responded with the series3. # Tivo series2 records and plays back the standard analog ATSC signal for non-HDTV viewing. Your HDTV must have an analog input capability or analog tuner to view the lower quality analog signal. You need the analog signal from your satellite, cable, or local broadcast (antenna) channels. Series2 devices only have the ATSC tuner. # Satellite and cable providers will promote the new HDTV format but will continue to provide the lower quality analog signals in their packages. You need want the HDTV package view HD quality programs. A series2 Tivo will only store and replay the lower quality analog signals. # Feb 2009 the analog signal channels will no longer be locally broadcast by antenna. The FCC is administering a program to provide each household a converter to modifying the HDTV signal to the lesser quality analog channels. You will need this converter to continue using the Tivo series2 with antenna supplied signals. The question then becomes, WILL TIVO SUPPORT THE SERIES 2 DEVICES WITH PROGRAM GUIDE INFORMATION?
