Best Answer

Advantages; they always appear to be in the same spot in the sky, so you can focus your satellite dish antenna on them.

Disadvantages; they are quite high, about 23,000 miles up. You need a fairly strong signal to hit them, and a handheld device often doesn't have enough power.

Why are communication satellites in geosynchronous orbits What is the prime advantage of lEOs?

Regarding the communications satellite orbit; a geosynchronous orbit is one that keeps the satellite in one position in the sky. It is a spot in space about 22,000 miles away that the satellite will orbit the earth once a day, so it is moving the same speed as the earth rotates and appears to never move. If your dish network satellite was not in geosynchrous orbit, you would need a device to turn your dish and there would be periods that the satellite would be over a different part of the world, like the sun and moon. They would slip over the horizon and you wouldn't be able to watch TV for a while.
