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.
