Satellite installation/Service

How It Works

Television programs are relayed through satellites located 22,240 miles directly above the equator and moving at over 8,000 miles per hour. The satellites' movement through space exactly matches the rotation of the earth so as seen by an observer on the ground they seem to remain in the same spot, making it possible to point an antenna at them.

How To Get It

Satellite service to the US is provided by two companies, DirecTV and Dish Network. They have similar packages of programs and cost about the same. I chose DirecTV (DTV) because it seemed easier to set up. All of DTV's regular programs come from a single satellite but Dish Network splits them between two satellites. That complicates things a little bit because the antenna must be aligned to receive both at the same time and the receiver has to switch back and forth depending on what channel you are watching. Dish users say that is no big deal because it is pretty much automatic with the latest dishes and receivers, and that Dish is more "RVer friendly" on some policy issues.
