Remember the old days when there were only 4 "real" television channels? Nowadays, the more TV you
can get, the better. When you get satellite TV, a small dish on your roof will broadcast virtually
every television channel on the planet to your TV for a surprisingly reasonable price.
You probably think you're pretty well off with cable TV - MTV, ESPN, Cartoon Network,
the Food Network. But don't get complacent - life could be even better. A little while ago,
engineers realized that satellites orbiting around the planet could serve a function other
than taking pictures of the moon: to provide the legions of couch potatoes hundreds of channels
with crystal clear reception.
