I Wonder If Television Stations Get Live Video From Satellites. Could Anyone Tell Me Where The Cameras Are?

I'm puzzled. I don't know where TV stations get their live pictures. Whether it is a fire or a crane, they are there with great, instant video.

    There are no cameras which are fixed in the air through which the channels are watched all over the world. This is a direct broadcast satellite system that works and there are special reception tolls for accessing the stations. This is more technical than you have might think. One thing you must consider is that technology has progressed so much.

      The live video feeds are simply relayed by satellite transponders. Typically, a live event's video and audio are uplinked by a satellite truck to a bird in the sky. That signal is downlinked by a broadcaster, say Fox News or MTV, who then send it back to another bird to be downlinked at your cable head-end. The entire path is radio-frequency signals.
