satelliittitelevision
Satelliittitelevisio, often shortened to sat-tv, is a method of broadcasting television programs by relaying them from an orbiting satellite to terrestrial receivers. This technology allows for the transmission of a wide range of channels over vast geographical areas, overcoming limitations of terrestrial broadcasting which relies on ground-based transmitters. Satelliittitelevisio typically requires a satellite dish antenna, which is installed at the viewer's location and precisely aligned to receive signals from the designated satellite. A set-top box, also known as a receiver, is connected to the dish and decodes the incoming signal, converting it into a format viewable on a television set.
The satellite itself is positioned in a geostationary orbit, meaning it remains in a fixed position relative
