Stop being foolish. You couldn't point one of these miniature disc's within 5 thousand miles of a sat, if in fact it could float in the same location 25,000 miles up. Which it can't, no such thing dog, pass the blunt again. Live TV broadcast, no fricken latency, no delay to cut the nude streaker or murder in progress. Once the signal is out, it's available. The things peeps are asked to believe....amazing !!!
Time for you to explain how the satellite dishes, that millions have, work. Check the angles. Identify the transmitter(s).
The oft-quoted suggestion is that it's driven by "cell towers" or other ground-based transmitters.
Having lived through the era of analogue and digital terrestrial TV, and seen the evidence of those living south of the transmitter pointing aerials north, toward it, and others to the west of it pointing aerials east toward it, I now see absolutely every domestic satellite dish in the land pointing broadly south.
Having seen for myself how main transmitters fail to reach valley areas and such, and how repeater transmitters were used to fill in areas, this requirement has gone, and all dishes point to the same spot, with no or much-reduced issues from high ground in the way, except in the north, the furthest point from the transmitter in the sky.
And, as I suggested above, anyone can take a portable satellite rig, operate it in the vicinity of a local ground tower, and show the world whether or not they can get a usable signal from it. Just pick up one of the channels broadcast by the local satellite provider, but which is absent from the terrestrial TV listings.
