Satellite television

Satellite television is a way of sending television signals.  Television channels go to a ground station, which sends them by radio waves to a communications satellite in space.  The satellite then transmits that signal back to earth. People with a satellite dish can receive the signals.  Very often, satellite television is provided as a pay television service (especially to places where cable TV is not available).  Here are some examples:
 Sky (UK)
 Freesat (UK)
 Dish Network (US)
 Astro (Satellite TV)
