satellite TV
Dish-based television service
Satellite TV is television programming delivered via signals beamed from orbiting satellites to dish antennas on homes and buildings.
It emerged as an alternative to cable and broadcast television, offering wider coverage in rural areas: We had to get satellite TV because cable doesn't reach out here.
The dish mounted on a roof or wall is the telltale sign of a satellite TV subscriber.
