Portland Enjoys Satellite TV, the Gateway to the World

Since the advent of commercially distributed televisions in the 1930’s, the television set has become the vessel for one of the most important art forms of the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries. The world has seen a rapid transformation of t.v. set colors, models, and sizes. There are decades worth of a variety of programs that have been archived over the years creating what is a legacy of this groundbreaking invention. The latest advance in this extraordinary technology is satellite t.v. broadcasting, a development which has helped shape popular culture, aids in education, and serves us everyday as a form of world-wide communication.

Satellite television is the product of receptor dishes here on Earth and their communication with orbiting satellites in space. The first television signal transmitted in this way was relayed in 1962, but until recently was reserved primarily for non-commercial use.The satellites allow for clear, efficient transmission in areas unreachable by traditional terrestrial transmission. It is thanks to this form of television signal transmission that people of all walks of life can be connected to a world that is rapidly shrinking because of the growing popularity of satellite t.v

The signal is completely digital so the picture and stereo quality is exceptional. The broadcast area is practically unlimited. Classrooms in small towns in Africa , for example, can receive channels with programs in French, Afrikaans, Portuguese. Nature shows and historically educational programs can be used as valuable teaching aids in small, isolated towns of the U.S. where channels like National Geographic and the Discovery Channel previously could not be accessed. Programs from Europe and Great Britain such as the BBC news broadcast and CNN in Spanish are awesome resources that connect us to a world perhaps far from our own in distance but closer than we ever imagined in terms accessibility.

High-definition images, a perk of satellite t.v. let us see the world as if we were a hop, skip and a jump away. Giraffes running across the Savannah appear almost as large as life, and tragic news in China hits close to home in the Portland, Oregon in the United States. Television has been around along time and has always made it’s mark throughout history. There has been no other time, however, when a television technology could more unite the world community than satellite t.v. does now. Don’t be left in the dark when the whole world can be at your finger tips with a click of the remote.
