Flat Earth Theory / Re: Do any flat earth believers use sattelite TV?

When you get down to it it seems that trigonometry is the bane of flat earth theory. All you need is a couple of friends on different parts of the world and a few $80 telescopes from Walmart and with trigonometry you can verify the shape of the Earth.

I think flat earthers should be putting a lot more work into attacking high school math.

Hey
The thing is I dont need to verify as I know the earth is flat... just trying to figure out how they finally made it with Digital TV.
At some point as many Flat-earthers, I imagined they used Skywave propagation...nice and easy... except that this method does not work with signals beyond 320 MHz !
So how do you do when your signal is 10 GHz ?
You still need satellites :

   

Take a look !  that's the trick :-)

Hi
Yes I know this is an old post.... :-)

I also have a query regarding the Satellite Hoax I find myself unable to resolve to date.

Considering the following data :

- Reception dishes point to South and just above the horizon level (when living on the Northern regions)

- Flat-Earthers insist that Digital TV signals are bouncing off the Ionopshere/Sky/Dome/Firmament

- Digital TV Signals can be found on the 10-12 GHz range (C Band, Ku Band)

- It has been demonstrated that "Skywave Propagation" only works well with 30-300 MHz signals. Beyond 320 MHz, drastic signal loss could be observed.


Please, could anyone answer these questions :


- Where do Digital TV signals exactly come from, on the reception dish side ?

- If they come from the Dome as reported by Flat-Earthers, then how is it technically possible to bounce 10-12 GHz waves off the Ionosphere with no loss ?

- If they come from "lighter than air balloons" (also known as stratellites) I would like to know how long they have been using this technology for, and at what altitude one can find them.

I may have other questions in store... :-)

Many thanks in anticipation,
