Overseas countries have been receiving satellite programs for years and enjoying viewing a large variety of programs from around the globe

"LIVE". Satellite programs have opened up a whole new world of entertainment and information, as well as breaking down geographical cultural boundaries.
More than ten million households worldwide have a satellite system installed and benefit from around the world. Satellite work by transmitting a signal to a particular area on the face of the earth. The area that receives this signal to those on the "outer-edge" of a stronger signal is called "FOOTPRINT". Those who live in the center of the footprint receive a stronger signal to those on the outer edge of the footprint. The stronger the signal the smaller dish is required to deliver a clear or non freezing in the case of digital reception.

In Australia, we have been limited to the satellite programmes available because in many cases we have been on the edge or just outside the reception footprint. The satellite dish required to pick up theses weak signals have been large and costly and out of reach for most people. All this is changing, with the recent launch of many new satellites. Australia has been included in the reception footprints. This means stronger signals, smaller satellite dishes eg Foxtel size dishes, less expensive and perfect reception.

Australia is now catching up to the world in satellite TV. As the number of programs available multiply, so too is the demand for this unparallel service available "Free To Air " no monthly subscription.
