User Guide ABOUT SATELLITE TELEVISION Satellite television uses a satellite in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. This type of orbit enables the satellite to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth. Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to move to follow it.

Satellite Signal Quality SOLAR INTERFERENCE Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the Bell ExpressVu satellite as it orbits the Earth. This event occurs during a few days at the beginning of the spring and the beginning of the autumn and lasts only a few minutes.
