169) “So-called “satellite” TV
dishes are almost always positioned at a 45 degree angle towards the nearest
ground-based repeater tower. If TV antennae were actually picking up signals
from satellites 100+ miles in space, most TV dishes should be pointing more or
less straight up to the sky. The fact that “satellite” dishes are never
pointing straight up and almost always positioned at a 45 degree angle proves
they are picking up ground-based tower signals and not “outer-space satellites.”
“Towards the nearest ground-based repeater”
Repeater of which network,
on which frequency?
So how did you check your claim about repeater towers?
You
give no evidence.
Then you say; “most TV dishes should be pointing more or less
straight up to the sky. The fact that “satellite” dishes are never pointing
straight up and … proves they are picking up ground-based tower signals and not
“outer-space satellites.”
Why, in the name of reason? Why should they point
straight up?
That would mean that there would have to be a satellite almost
directly above every point on earth!
Another claim that’s completely
irrational, and you make no attempt even to argue it, just tell us to believe
you on faith.
No thanks.
As mentioned earlier, this claim is completely wrong. Using a website like http://www.satsig.net/maps/satellite-tv-dish-pointing-germany.htm one easily gets angles from, e.g., 21.2 degrees for Bergen (Norway) to 82.6 degress for Lagos (Nigeria). Surprise, surprise: The angle gets closer to 90 degrees when approaching the equator...
