ELEVISION

Satellite television uses a satellite in a stationary orbit over the Earth to

deliver television and audio programming. This type of orbit enables the

satellite to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth.
Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to

move to follow it.

and time. Press the
BROWSE button to
