Quite a few satellites orbit above the earths surface, over 50. These are
spaced out two to three degrees apart. The satellites orbit at exactly the
same speed and direction as the earth itself so that they remain in a fixed
position above a particular area, which helps to make it easy for you to
receive a signal.

Each satellite only covers around 1/3 of the world's surface, this is
because it is the only area that is visible from the satellite's position.
For certain broadband satellite tv to receive signals, what are known as
"spot beams", are pointed directly down at certain times.

Massive multi national companies own the satellites used for brodband
satellite tv. Newskies, Eutelsat, and Intelsat are three of these companies.
Some national companies and regional operators are also available for you to
subscribe to.

There are many features of a Broadband Satellite TV.

Internet service providers offer broadband satellite tv, these ISPs sell
their services to consumers. Many of them provide free equipment to get you
started and offer monthly subscriptions, each of which depends on the
capacity you require (what channels).

When you subscribe to a broadband satellite TV provider, you will get a
small satellite dish, which could be 60cm all the way through to 3.7m in
diameter, and you'll get a receiver module, and a suitable transmit module.
This equipment is vital to you being able to receive signals from the
satellite broadband, and extracting data from your computer or network. If
you have this equipment inside your home it can prepare your system for data
transmission, whenever you click the mouse over the internet.

When you subscribe for broadband satellite tv, you will be paying for an
amount of data, or a specific bit rate, such as 512k down. This means that
when you download a file, the highest speed will be 512k bits. Most
broadband satellite tv providers offer "shared bit rates", these will be
limited or lower bit rates that offer a specified capacity that you will be
sharing.

Its good to be aware that if you choose to use the sharing arrangements, you
will be given a monthly upload and download limit. This is done to ensure
that other users can block you from receiving broadcasts. The policies
surrounding the 'fairness' can be complicated and will vary from one
broadband satellite tv provider to the next.

If having limits puts you off, then you can subscribe with a CIR (continuous
information rate) service that lets you upload and download unlimited data
to your hearts content. Just expect a more expensive subscruption rate if
you decide to go down this route, as they are generally used for commercial
purposes, like internet cafes and other businesses that require large bit
rates.
