Most people love going to the movies to watch latest releases. For many families, a weekend at the movies is a great outing and an opportunity to spend time together.

On the big screen, the people and events are literally larger than life. The atmosphere that a big screen creates makes it seem as if you are really there in the middle of explosions and heart-stopping chases.

But there is a downside to this — the experience is often ruined when you're suddenly brought back to reality by the guy behind you kicking your seat, the baby two rows down screaming or the woman with the big hat sitting in front of you.

Different to terrestrial television, which is relayed by masts on the earth, satellite TV information is sent to and from satellites that are about 23,000 miles above the Earth’s surface.

In 1962, the first satellite TV information or signal was sent from Europe up to the Telstar satellite that was orbiting above North America. In 1973, Canada became the first to launch Anik 1, the first domestic satellite to carry satellite TV information in North America.

In the same way as all other satellite communications, satellite TV information begins in an uplink facility where a transmitting dish, aimed at the satellite that it is transmitting to, sends signals.
