my grandpa had one, it was the coolest thing at the time because it allowed us to watch US programming from northern Ontario. had a button that actually made the fucking sucker move so it could connect to different satellites each with different programing. Other kids had shit YTV and i was watching Cartoon Network like a 10yo boss
Anyway I never thought about it till recently but its weird that the Dish had to move to specific directions to pick up specific singles from satellites.
i find that weird that you need to point a dish in a specific direction to get a signal from something moving 17000 miles per hour.. around our pear-ish sideways egg shaped planet.
to me this only makes sense if they were somewhat stationary🤔... are they all just lunched on balloons like this?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK_kWN0BsKs
P.S. I prescribe to neither the globe or flat earth theory (to me this shit is nothing short of a weird biological simulation with a possible oblivious creator) so dont mistake my distrust of NASA for anything other then that.. I just fucking dont trust NASA anymore.
Jesus christ this is retarded. Yes they are going 17k mph. But so it the Earth. The Earth is revolving and spinning. And is so fucking big that at 17k mph it takes 365 days to circle the sun and 24 hrs to fully rotate once. I don’t think you can grasp the magnitude of these scales and how with radio waves, the receiver and transmitter are relatively stationary for the time interval you are using the TV lol. Ffs.
