Stop pretending you know what you're talking about as regards where a signal is coming from or going to as far as space is concerned, because you don't. Don't dare say you do, because if you do, I'll call you a liar as many times as needed.
I've seen the sky installers and aerial digital installers who simply use a signal strength detector to align dishes or aerials.
They don't have a clue where it's coming from in terms of space but they may know where the transmitter is that sends the signal to the dish or aerial.
A few days training is all that's needed to start someone off putting stuff like this up and anyone with basic skills and common sense can do it.
It takes a bit more know how when dealing with frequencies and coding/scrambling and such but it still does not tell anything about satellites, so don't even attempt to tell me it does.
Your satellite is a transmitter, that's all it is. You can look at it as a cell tower, a transmitter aerial on a hill or in a field or whatever, but it's a transmitter on earth and they work fine as they have always done.
The reason why they appear more up to date now is simply because of the range and different variations of how the signals are sent but in reality it's no more different than the old CB radios of the time where changing a channel meant you talked to whoever.
It's no different to police radio or emergency services, only it's just varied frequencies that transmits TV signals.
Your sky box in your home is geared to a certain digital code, that's why they can shut you down in a heartbeat...not because they shut the satellite link, it's because they shut down the transmitted signal that's been assigned to your box.
Anyone who thinks that a satellite , sat in space and keeping a so called geosynchronous movement with earths rotation, in my view is stark raving mad or at worst, super naive, for those that simply just accept.
The ones I scratch my head over, is people who profess to know it all and go along with it. That puzzles me to hell.
It's fine giving it the old, " oh, I'm a chemist and I know this", or, " I'm an amateur astronomer so I know this", or, "I'm a major in this and that, so I know this and that."
The point is, you are a chemist and you basically memorize and mix things. Yeah it might be more complicated than that, but essentially that's what you do.
The astronomer looks at the sky at night, mostly and can tell anyone who cares to listen that those 3 stars in a line are such and such and, "look, there's the great bear"...and so on and so on. It means nothing through the looking glass in terms of actually knowing what the hell it is you are really looking at, except they're pretty sparkly night things and shooting, whizzing things that get names as comets, space debris, satellites and what not.
The physics majors and what not are memory gymnasts. They commit info to their brains from specially selected books designed for the purpose of their education in that field and practice and practice until they get it all correct, or most of it, or part of it, depending on how far up the chain they are in terms of absorption of information bestowed upon them.
The real scientists are those that can...and are prepared to think for themselves...and those that will not accept something simply by face value until they can logically either verify it or they can logically say that it genuinely makes enough sense that they can at least go partly with it.
Your satellites make no sense...and I mean, no sense...at all. The earth has it's own way of sifting through the masses within it and it sorts them out by density, leaving the lightest element at the top.
Nothing is getting out of this earth and nothing is coming in.
What is in, is in already, which is everything we see in that sky, naturally and what we see unnaturally as in planes, balloons and various other man made objects.
This does not include orbiting satellites, which are a figment of the imagination.
