Satellite television

Satellite television is a way of sending television signals. Television channels go to a ground station, which sends them by radio waves to a communications satellite in space. The satellite then transmits that signal back to earth. People with a satellite dish can receive the signals. Very often, satellite television is provided as a pay television service (especially to places where cable TV is not available). Here are some examples:

• Sky (UK)
• Freesat (UK)
• Dish Network (US)
• Astro (Satellite TV)
