The hard part of getting a network dish is done. You’ve chosen your satellite TV service provider, and you’ve had everything installed. You may even have had time to figure out how to work the remote control that gives you access to the myriad programming options now at your disposal. Have you ever taken a moment to consider how it all works? If the technology that drives network dish services makes your head spin, don’t attribute it to your own ignorance. At first glance the satellite TV systems are complicated, but by getting a basic understanding of how they work, you’ll be better equipped to choose your upgrades in the future.

Satellite TV systems exist all over the world. A satellite dish is like a large antenna that transmits signals to and from - you guessed it - satellites. Your network dish is designed specifically for television, radio and data communications of all types. These satellite dishes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on their purpose and their overall signal strength.

Satellite TV service occurs because of the dish’s shape, known as “parabolic”. Parabolic essentially means that it is a conic section, or an inverted curve, generated by a circular dip into a surface of some sort. There’s all sorts of math equations that can accurately describe this better, but if you’re ever driven past a satellite dish or stared at your own, you know what parabolic is.
