ABOUT SATELLITE TV RECEPTION

Satellite television uses satellites in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. This type of orbit enables the satellites 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.

Here’s something interesting! Noted science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke calculated the orbit that causes satellites to remain stationary in the sky. To this day the 22,000 mile high orbit bears the name Clarke Belt.

Rain and Snow Fade

Heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may interrupt your programming service. Your service will return after the weather condition has passed. Aiming the satellite dish to get the strongest signal during installation, will help prevent rain and snow from interrupting the signal.
