Which ones? Some channels are on both.
Yes I know. The point is, you can still get them through an aerial. I'm quite sure you can get the lot the same way. What's the difference?
I can get all the news channels from around the worlds circle, just through my roof aerial, just like my super well aligned 15 year old rusting sky dish that's been battered to hell and still going strong, amid at least one big satellite replacement launch into 23,000 mile orbit to nudge the knackered one away and take it's place to keep my signal nice and crisp.
I can just picture them space people.
Space person: Ok, it looks like the satellite that's working half of the UK is about to go on the blink, tell the rocket people to load up the birdy sat on ready 5.
Gopher: Roger that, Sir, I'll make that call.
Gopher: Attention! Attention! All personnel! Load the birdy satellite into the rocket, we have a soon out of commission satellite that needs replacing, be ready for launch in T minus 36 hours, over and out.
Space person: Ok you lot at the 8000 computers in this building that operate this rocket and stuff...stare at your screens whilst drinking coffee and make sure you have lit cigars and cigarettes in your mouths and hands...we have launch in 36 hours.
They then launch the rocket and it gets into space, then releases the satellite to power itself into position where the other birdy satellite is, by deploying a big rubber nose, ready to nudge it into deep space and take up it's exact position so no one on Earth has any interruption of signal.
Job done! Hooray!
