ABOUT SATELLITE TELEVISION

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.

Tip: The system automatically displays programs based on the current day and time. Press the BROWSE button to advance the Guide to view informa- tion on future programs, but not programs that have already ended.
