satellite television Television services transmitted to viewers via communications satellites in orbit around the Earth. These satellites orbit the Equator and keep in time with the Earth's spin. As a result, each one remains above a fixed point on the Equator. Television companies beam their signals to the satellites from ground stations. The satellites retransmit the signals back to viewers' dish-shaped receiving aerials. A fixed aerial receives many services from a single satellite.
