re: IS "SATELLITE RECEPTION" *really* the basis for Internet, TV, and "Global Communications"?

Undersea cables, OR <---> land-based antennae bouncing signal <---> one relay antenna to the next.

Literally impossible with the way TV satellite systems work. Do you seriously think there is a terrestrial based relay at a 30°+ azimuth to the dishes on people's houses?

quote:

---

NO ONE is pointing their Satellite Dish at any actual "Satellite" up in the "sky" for "better receptions"; They are pointing it in the direction of the nearest GROUND tower.

---

That must be one hell of a high tower out in the Gulf of Mexico that I’m pointing my dish at when at the beach. Another odd thing, all the TV dishes in the US seem to be pointing the same direction with only a difference in elevation. Everyone’s “ground tower” is the same geographic direction from their house, what are the odds?

(It takes 3-4 geosynchronous satellites to cover the globe, excluding the polar regions.)


"If they are high up enough, yes. You can see half a ball when you look at it. The constraint is that they have to talk to each other and geosynchronous orbit is plenty high enough."

---

Even IF I accepted the premise that 3-4 geosynchronous "Satellites" are whizzing around a global at thousands of miles an hour IN LOW EARTH ORBIT, your theory is still geometrically impossible.

But then again you may be right; NASA has surely provided evidentiary video from Space OR at least from the Hubble of this phenomena of course. Oh wait :-(

What was "insinuated" but needed to be "clarified", Professor? I admire people who read between very large lines. Blow me away.

(Here's the conundrum here; If positioning of Satellite dishes on houses is stationary, how is it possible to "LOCK IN" on one specific orbiting Satellite for consistent reception IF that Satellites is whizzing away at a different position thousands of miles an hour?)


"It's not a conundrum, if a single satellite has line of sight to the reciever (easy to do when they are in fricken space) they can transmit a signal (moving at the speed of light) to a stationary receiver pointed at the sky."

---

Do you know the different between the speed of "Light" and the speed of "Sound" frequencies?

Let's not forget -- the supposedly "line of sight" you claim must overcome angles from LOW. EARTH. ORBIT. And that's as 3-4 "satellites" traveling at blurring speeds are trying to simultaneously cover the entire "globe" WHILE syncing up with stationary ground receptors/dishes.

You DO understand how radio signals and radio frequencies work, right?

At one time in the not too distant past, houses still had these antennas on their roof tops.

What do houses in the past having antennas for reception of VHF/UHF “line of sight” TV signals have to do with my statement that it seems odd that every “Dish TV” parabolic dish in the US is pointed at the same point in the sky if they were actually receiving signals from ground stations? I seem to remember something about radio signals and rotating E+H fields from a Emag class while earning my BS in physics. The majority of home antennas used in the past for over the air reception were a hybrid yagi/logperiodic design, combining a broadband log cell with individual yagi directors to optimize gain a desecrate channel frequencies, not the two element phased dipole array shown in the advertisement you posted. I had a 35 year career working with antennas, transmission lines, wave propagation, and any other aspect of RF you can think of, your “ground tower” premise of satellite TV reception is not based in reality.

TO ALL:

Pretty cool.

VIDEO: Balloon Satellite Full Moon Transit Captured (Nikon P900 ZOOM Camera)

They are virtually impossible to see with the naked eye...

With the latest state of the art camera, Nikon P900 (especially for ZOOMING), here a videographer catches a Balloon-"Satellite" drifting across full moon. If you notice, there are 3 distinct balloons attached to the Data Payload/Receptor.

This is more likely 'G00gle Earth's' method of capturing it's earth-images.

Haven't we all been told (without question) that Global Internet & TV "communications receptions" are "Satellites-based"?

Umm, no

The (bal)LOONS at NAS(uck) expect US to believe there aren’t BALLOONS on the “so called” international SPACE station! More like the cabal BALLOON floaty ORGY room. What’s really going on up there?!?!

Wake up! Question EVERYTHING?

On what planet? Not Earth. The cables on earth have been tapped and monitored constantly since they were laid.

Yeah. THAT image of a "satellite" (sans balloon) looks perfectly legit.

DON'T "question everything"; Don't even question ANYTHING. I think we'll all be safer that way.
