What is satellite TV?

It is a television system .This is how it works :

1) satellite TV programming is sent from a broadcast center to a satellite above the earth (which is 22,000 miles away).

2) The signal is then sent back to earth , and it is picked up by a satellite TV dish.

3) The satellite TV dish captures the signal

4) It then sends it to a receiver and an low-noise block converter ( the signal is decoded, amplified and sent to a TV ) .
