Dose one rely need a Satellite Dish biger than 1 meter?

It all depends on what "one" is trying to pickup as far as satellite communication goes.  \nFor directv and dishnetwork the 101, 110, 119 degree satellites are transmitted on the ku band with a circular polarization at high power that is why they can be picked up with smaller dishes.  \n\nSome linear Ku band satellites can be picked up with about a 30''to 36'' dish depending on where you live and what you would like to pick up.\n\nMost cband needs at least 6ft. dish preferably 10ft. dish to pick up. If you have a cband dish depending on the size of the mesh you can use it to pick up linear ku band.\n\nWithin the last two months I helped install 2 14 ft. solid aluminum dishes that were used to pick up horse races and they do not want any downtime so the bigger the better.\n\nSo I would say yes one could come across a situation where they need a dish bigger than 1 meter.

No, because you can always make something smaller. Although lengths shorter that the Planck length (1.62e-35 meters) don't make physical sense.

Just plugin your TV cable that came to you from nearby cabel company or your dish antenna and it should work. Call HP and they will tell where to plugin and then how to use it. You don't need to connect TV there.

I am in the United States, but my parents have a subscription to Arabic television on dish network. Often, they watch the games on the channel called ART. If you have that channel, you should check it out. I do not know which frequency applies to your particular satellite system though.

You need a big dish antenna and a lot of power to transmit to a geo satellite.  If your cell phone had that, it would be to0 big and heavy to carry.  That's why towers combine calls from many different users and route them, as needed, to other towers via wires, microwaves, or satellite communications.

You mean to connect to the internet via satellite? Sure! Get out your purse tho, its gonna cost ya 5 grand for the hardware and god only knows what they charge a month!

No they would not.  You need to be within 5 miles of an attenna (with a base station).  Plus the attennas are designed to pick up signals from below them on an angle.\n\nYou also have an ionosphere which would block a great deal of the radio signals.

For the best compromise of cost vs performance I would go with a 1/2 wavelength inverted V.  Support the center feed point at 150-200 ft above ground.  This antenna will be broadly non-directional.  The feed point will be close to 50 Ohms Z. For additional gain and small broadside directivity.  You can lengthen the V to One wavelength.  This creates two half wavelengths in phase.  The feed point will be high-Z at a voltage loop requiring a matching network.  Hope this helps you out.

It is possible and there are many comm sats in orbits other than GEO.  The Iridium satellite phone network is in LEO (pretty close to polar orbits) although that isn't used to transmit TV and the Russians have satellites in Molniya orbits which are 12 hour orbits of about 63.4° inclination which have a ground track that causes the spacecraft to move very slowly with respect to Earth at apogee thereby allowing 3 satellites to give 24 hour coverage of a high latitude region that would be too far from the equator for a GEO satellite.\n\nThe problem with other orbits though is that TV broadcasting satellites tend to point at a large area of the ground and then just have their customers point their dish at a fixed point in the sky which wouldn't be possbile if they satellite were moving with respect to the ground.  Pretty much anything other than GEO is easier to reach than GEO although if you get a launch anamoly while the spacecraft is doing the burn to put it on course to GEO it'll probably be harder to get it back to LEO or into a Molniya orbit (and if it was launched from a low latitude site it would probably require a plane change for a Molniya orbit which takes a lot of propellant).

Satellite Internet or use your neighbors wifi network :).

Not sure where you are, but you might want to check out "Free to Air" options....\nhttp://www.tech-faq.com/free-to-air-satellite.shtml\n\nThese receivers are available and easily programmable...\nhttp://dssftp.com/files/

Isn't that for a satellite dish?  I'd ask your network provider...

Sure, it's possible. But you won't see any artifacts there. Even the largest telescope on earth does not have the resolution to see a 10 meter spacecraft from a distance of 350,000 km.\n\nAn object that size at that distance subtends an arc of .005 arcseconds. Both Hubble and Keck (the best telescopes on or near earth) have a resolution limit of about .05 arcseconds.

You will need satellite feed. Very expensive. The only other way is to have a computer nearby to publish it on the web. No idea of any companies that do it though.

To boost the signal of your wireless router I would recommend buying a suitable enhanced antenna from your local computer store. They are designed to work with your router. There are also signal boosting devices that can be used throughout your home/office to help increase your signal coverage and wipe out dead spots.\n\nAs for the Sat dish; if you want to be Dr. Frankenstein and experiment you can go to your local Radio Shack and get the proper adapters to convert the connection from one to the other. Not sure if they will have the proper adapter for the router though. You may have to improvise. Will you succeed? I am very doubtful. Sat dishes are used to RECEIVE SIGNALS, not TRANSMIT! You may get better luck just using the coax cable used with the dish. But then again, stranger things have happened...
