Satellite TV Not As Free As You Might Think

By Kim Pascel

If you think that if having a satellite dish on your roof will bring you in touch with the world. The system has been in place since the early 1960's. Who knows if the government intended to position satellites in space so that millions could watch TV in their homes.

Television for many years was broadcast by radio waves. And of course before that we had radio. And before radio people got news and even entertainment via Morse code on the telegraph.

People used to keep up with the world series baseball games via telegraph. The message would come in from the person at the game and the game was actually shown on a large bill board with players moved to the various bases according to the telegraph reports. Now we have satellites in space to beam in images from across the world. If you have satellite TV you might catch the movie eight men out where they have the world series from the year 1919 to see how telegraph was used to keep people informed about the progress of the game.

This is main part due to the digital reception of the satellite feed. You can have fun watching your favorite shows to see the stars on the TV with their blemishes and the glare from the heads of the bald people on the screen. It makes watching reruns a new and fun experience.

Most homes are set up with a direct home version of satellite reception. And this is a receive only mode not a transmit mode. They signed up with a satellite TV provider like they would if they had gotten a cable television feed. The stations that broadcast the shows make their feed available to the satellite provider.

The providers get the feed from the broadcaster and then sell the feed to their customers via satellite dishes on their roofs. The dish acts like an antennae. The people with satellite TV reception can be easily seen around your neighborhood. Just look for those lovely dishes on their homes.

You will still have to have a receiver on your TV to unscramble the feed from the satellite to your satellite dish. The receiver decodes the feed and then presents it on your screen. When many people think of this system they think of unlimited television reception. However this is not necessarily the case.

Perhaps when they compare this with most cable providers they might have more channel choices. But the truth is there is a lot of money in this industry. And money controls. There is also a lot of government intervention and control. You may not know that you are very much limited in what far away stations you can tune into. The government controls the providers to the extent that the choices you get are very much limited by the government and the sponsors of TV shows that do not want you straying away from their commercials they know you love to watch in between you television broadcasts. Whether the way it is now was the way the government envisioned it is anyone's guess. - 23806
