How is tv transmitted?

Not cable tv, but Direct Tv. My Hughesnet is limited at the moment, and I was wondering how Direct Tv can manage to transmit video to millions 24/7 while Hughesnet has a fucking 200mb limit. Can anyone enlighten me?

I can't. There isn't a cable that comes down my road, and Time Warner (Roadrunner) wants $8,000 to run one. It's bullshit. It will be a sweet day when I do have cable. I invision the Hugesnet modem on fire being pulled behind my car.

Rent it, they do explain it pretty well. I wasn't joking, not completely. An electric signal broken up into little bits, beamed to a satelite, then beamed back at light speed and reassembled on your TV

I dumped Hugesnet after they capped my service, had the dis a week and they bottlenecked me after claiming it was unlimited service, seems there's a limit after all and it doesnt take long to reach it
they're internet service is a different entity than the TV service, look into DSL if it's available in your area

Yeah I'm capped at the moment. Last night I was on youporn and the video was downloading fast as fuck for once, but I was limited afterwards. It happens a lot since I'm either torrenting/ streaming porn or some pirated software. The internet at the tech school hits 56,000kbps download (I shit you not.) so I have utorrent on a flash drive so I can torrent my stuff there. I'm getting Photoshop CS4 Extended tomorrow.

Definitely the way to go.
I graduated last year, but for some reason my key-card for the depatrment computer lab still works. Any time I have a serious file to download I'll just run in there and use their connection. I have a fast connection here at home, but theirs is easily several times faster.
