Hi,
It is like this:-
All the TV satellites are approx 22,000 miles above the equator, spaced out at various orbital positions.
The satellite that is closest to your longitude is highest in the sky, the others either side are lower, and get lower until they disappear below the horizon. It is know as the 'arc'
Here is a representation of the arc for the UK:-
The Satellite Arc
For your location , a different satellite will be at the top.
To find out what it is for any satellite, in any location try _dishpointer.com
