Could someone answer either of these questions which have set me to wondering?
How does a FTA receiver know that it's receiving a "quality" signal? Does the satellite transmit coordinates that identify it?
If a receiver can tell that it has the right signal, from the right satellite, why can't it tell what the wrong signal is when you lock onto one of those? What I mean is; why can't it tell you where the signal is actually coming from?
Thank you.
