  Satellite of Love (MST3K) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Satellite of Love during the KTMA era was also noticebly different from the version shown during the show's official run, built on a very low budget and not featuring the somewhat iconic "doggy-bone" shape.
The Mystery Science Theater, in which the SOL captives watch and mock movies, is apparently located directly behind the bridge, on the opposite end of a long hallway with several oddly shaped doors (as suggested by the transition between host and movie segments), although the characters are rarely shown using it.
The Satellite of Love was so large that many regions of it went unexplored, at least by Mike, who, during season 10, was surprised to learn that the SOL was equipped with a squash court, a silo, and a feed lot.

Uplink satellite dishes are directed toward the satellite that their signals will be transmitted to, and are very large, as much as 9 to 12 meters (30 to 40 feet) in diameter.
The satellite signal, quite weak after travelling through space, is collected by a parabolic receiving dish, which reflects the weak signal to the dish's focal point and is received, down-converted to a lower frequency band and amplified by a device called a low-noise block downconverter, or LNB.
A new form of satellite antenna, which does not use a directed parabolic dish and can be used on a mobile platform such as a vehicle, was recently announced by the University of Waterloo.

 . : Satellite of Love
We Japanese are generally reputed to be "good at copying," yet for some reason we seem to exercise the highest level of erotic originality in the world.
Conversely, as anyone who's ever been to one knows, today's love hotels now have "front desks," despite the fact that room selection is usually done from photo panels and payment is fully automatic.
If the whole point of love hotel design lay in constantly revamping the interior decor and so as to never bore the clientele, the New Act does nothing so much as choke that very spirit cold.

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gimmick of the show is that the man and his robots make a running commentary on the film, making fun of its flaws and wisecracking their way through the film.
Trapped on board the Satellite of Love (S.O.L.) — a reference to a Lou Reed song — Joel builds four sentient robots that populate the ship (ostensibly because he is lonely, and as a homage to the 1970s film Silent Running).
Furthermore, by the start of season 2, the Deep 13 and Satellite of Love sets took on the form that they would have for the rest of the series' run on Comedy Central.

The target for satellite radio is changing: the early adopters are already in and soon the providers of satellite radio will start looking outside to new audiences.
The Simmons study also showed that current male owners of satellite radio are disproportionately in the 18-34 year old range, while men who intend to purchase are skewing older, that is they are 25-44 years old.
Between the two providers, XM and Sirius, satellite radio added nearly 1 million subscribers during the second quarter of this year, bringing the total number of satellite radio subscribers to 11.6 million consumers.

 Feature: Satellite Of Love - ComputerAndVideoGames.com
We do get a lot of people applying to be a satellite, but there are two big criteria that we look at before we take on a new satellite.
The cost to the satellites is we take some shares and do some seed funding as well, some very early seed funding.
One of the things that we're looking into now is having satellites that are not just pure and utter games, but bringing in some technology companies with ways of using the technology that we developed at Lionhead, and maybe in completely different environments than we've got at the moment.

 Fool.com: Satellite Beats Cable [Motley Fool Take] August 22, 2003
A study by J.D. Power and Associates found that the average household spends $49.62 a month for cable, while satellite costs are averaging $48.93.
Over the past five years, cable's market share has fallen from 68% to 60% of households, while satellite's has risen from 7% to 17%.
Despite deceiving advertising about satellite's reliability -- the cable industry would have you believe you'll lose your satellite picture every time the wind blows -- DirecTV and Dish Network ranked first and second in overall customer satisfaction.

 Sirius is a sports radio fan's paradise. By Robert Weintraub
Unlike the sugar fix of television, radio nourishes the imagination and encourages the free flow of ideas, even if the ideas are usually articulated by agoraphobes and guys who couldn't get a TV gig.
Of the two major satellite radio providers, Sirius, which has a contract with the NFL, is probably the best option for hard-core sports fans.
Sirius' agreement to be the exclusive satellite radio provider of the NHL hasn't worked out so well.

About 100 reporters and photographers are milling around the plush Sirius Satellite Radio reception area in midtown Manhattan, waiting to be ushered into a press conference to document Howard Stern’s first day on satellite.
Fed up with the FCC’s murky guidelines as to what qualifies as indecent, Stern announced in the fall of 2004 that he was leaving "terrestrial" airwaves for a five-year, $500 million deal on Sirius satellite radio.
He served out the rest of his contract with Infinity Broadcasting (which syndicated his show in 45 markets), but the last months of the show were strained.

And though the name may sound like some post-punk manifesto to destroy technology, the band spends less time leveling threats than investigating the musical universe on their new release, “Learning to Land.”
Three-way guitar action allows the band to spend more time crafting harmonies and melodies than building riffs, and the rhythm section is tight as can be.
They are also beginning a new album, which they think may be done in 10 years or so.

The flaws in his voice sometimes remind me of the flaws in my life (yeah, I'm a little rough around the edges and sometimes fade out in the middle of things, too) and let me make a closer connection to his work.
He's got songs about love won and lost, chances that have passed him by, and regret and longing.
This is all solid, standard fare for the artistically examined life, and easy for an audience to connect with, so I suppose it's to be expected.

 The "Satellite Of Love" Crashes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
After blasting off from an obscure upper Midwestern UHF TV station, landing and then being forced off Comedy Central, and finding a temporary berth at the Sci-Fi Channel, the "Satellite Of Love," where so many bad flicks were shish-kabobbed by first Joel, then Mike, and the 'bots, has finally crashed.
Under Mike Nelson (the show's long-standing head writer), the humor grew more and more mean-spirited, the films were often ignored in the skits, the 'bots openly scorned Mike, and the storyline involving a new arch-enemy, Forrester's manic mother, Pearl, never really jelled.
The "Satellite Of Love" was seemingly wandering in concept as well as through space.

"Satellite of Love," perhaps the second most famous song from this record, is a little overrated, but memorable nonetheless.
On the other hand, Lou Reed DOESN'T betray his own muse by jumping on the glam rock-wagon, cos' this is simply a great album, imbued precisely with that energy field known as pure rock'n'roll, that Lou has always worshipped.
'Satellite of Love' is another classic, stranded somewhere between 'Walk...' and 'Perfect...' on the mood-scale.

 music : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
My detour wasn't to Roswell, but the nearest electronics store carrying the hardware for XM Satellite Radio, a new subscription service that, for $9.95 a month (plus the price of the receiver), lets you drive across town or country under two powerful orbs beaming 100 channels of often extremely idiosyncratic programming.
It's the sea-to-shining-sea digital saturation that makes the service a trucker's wet dream, but it's the almost hilariously plenitudinous multigenre programming that's sexy to anyone who falls under the rubric of music buff.
With so few niches left unturned, you wonder what genres are left to be claimed by Sirius, a competing satellite service starting up this month.
