Satellite communications operator answer: Unfortunately, with TV and broadband internet you are stuck getting your signal from a geosynchronous (stationary) satellite. All of these satellites are located in the Clark belt, which is roughly 26,300 miles directly out from the equator. This means that if you live in the northern hemisphere, your satellite will always be located somewhere to the south. The clark belt will span the whole horizon, though, so if you have a view of the southwestern or southeastern sky, you may still be able to find a usable satellite. However, the closer the satellite is located relative to due south, the stronger your signal will be, since there is less atmosphere that the signal must cut through.

Probably not,every time I tried to order a satellite dish there was a tree in the way.
Maybe that is just the standard answer of the satellite company to make you buy other equipment to tune in to their dish "up in the sky" .
Now I am stuck with cable,the next time I move the first question I am going to ask is "Is there a tree blocking the southern hemisphere?".

In North American, you'll find satellites spread from south east to south west.

If you have some obstruction, you can offset the LNB (left or right) if you cannot move the location of the satellite dish. I've been able to receive sats that were close to 20 deg. off by using this technique...this requires some tweaking of course.

Nope, that's were our geo-stationary satellites are.
