  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you think that your TV signal comes from some orbiting satellite, well I'm afraid there is no hope for you :(

Maybe a balloon yes.
A very uneducated post. I have both satellite and local terrestrial TV systems. They are not the same. And as I’ve already said, satellite signals can be received where there are no local masts at all. You need to educate yourself on the differences & why one is not the same as the other.

No I don't your signal may come from a satellite that has been launched on a balloon.

Sorry to burst yours, but a balloon floats around in the sky due to wind conditions and would not have the stability to be able to consistently receive signals without moving the dish. My dish is locked into position and does not have to be moved in order to follow a balloon.

So far you’ve tried to give me three different reasons for my being able to receive satellite TV signals. None of them are thought through to any degree. You’re just rehashing things you’ve heard without any reasoning.

OK fine, but just for good measure can you give me photo of a satellite in orbit ?

Why? Just so that you can claim it’s fake? It wouldn’t matter what photo I showed you, you would still claim it’s fake.

And stop trying to change the subject (which you do a lot when you have no answer). You can’t explain satellite TV in any rational way.

The easiest explanation is because communications satellites are in geostationary orbits over the earth supplying consistently strong, clear signals which can be received via uni-directional satellite dishes. But to accept that would mean you are completely wrong about the earth’s shape.

That' because there are no real pictures of satellites, you'd think they'd have one by now don't you think ?

There are real pictures, and there are pictures which you will accept as real.

Just Google satellites and look at images. All the satellites you could ever want; but I would imagine you will say that they are all fake.

Of course they have. You just keep claiming they’re fake.

And you’re still trying to change the subject. Explain how I receive clear, strong satellite TV signals. So far you’ve given me nothing but very silly uneducated answers.

I don't Know but it's certainly not from some orbiting satellite.

And that's why you can't answer. You're in denial, head buried, hands over your ears and saying 'la la la la la la....'

Go and educate yourself on satellites.

And why do you post stuff about which you know nothing?

Satellite signals don't actually come from a satellite?
That's a new one on me. Who brings them; Father Christmas?

As your previous posts have proven beyond doubt, flat earthers can’t answer basic questions about satellite TV. The fact that you would even consider that millions of Sky Satellite TV viewers, for example, are dependant on a balloon, which would be at the mercy of air currents & could only stay up for a week or so, to receive consistent signals over many years is beyond stupid.

When I said educate yourself, I meant real education, where the truth is told, like here:

I think Sky viewers would want their money back after a number of weeks, even if their dishes managed to follow a balloon while solidly fixed in one direction only. Why can you not think rationally?


You don’t seem to understand that whatever devices are sending satellite TV signals have to have longer lifespans than balloons, be at very high altitudes & be effectively stationary over specific geographic locations of the earth. Balloons are not anywhere near being right for the job.

Geostationary satellites are the reality, accept it & move on from flat earth nonsense.

It's good to see you joking about calling a 6 minute YouTube clip "an education."

There are plenty of other resources that would teach you about satellites.

I reckon sky viewers should get their money back as they are being conned.

Well I'm sorry but this is all they have.

They are not though are they ?
