Satellite Overview

[KenB123]

Anybody know of an overview document about the Dish-TV satellites and transponders? I am just trying to understand how the whole thing works. For example, why does my dish target 3 satellites? And then to get more advanced, how I would best position my dish.

What I am seeking is something that first describes at a beginner level and then gets more technical.
