BB yes, but you need a phone line to get the return path on, sat phone
is around, but not for domestic usage....


Im told the sky solution needs no phone backchannel (no idea how accurate that
info is)


I very, very, much doubt that you'll be transmitting toward the sky sat
unless you're paying very serious money.....

no great surprise - the backchannel is slow, and the satellite is a decent fraction of the way to the moon ;-)


Perhaps I've missed a giggle here, but surely the satellite has to be
the same distance away from earth as the moon? :

Not quite.

The moon orbits the earth once a month.
A geostationary satellite orbits once a day
so it has to be much closer.

I wish I could blame alcohol, drugs, or tiredness for that.

But I cannot.

Happy New Year.

As to Satellite and Sky this service has all the radio you'll be likely
to need and in the case of BBC services they are at higher rates over
the DAB services. Some Sky receivers have digi optical outs to which an
external DAC can work some magic on.


Can one get Broadband or a telephone service via satellite ?

BB yes, but you need a phone line to get the return path on
