You need to use the XYZ tiles capability. This web page (chosen merely because it was the first link in my Google search) explains how to do it. The example service they use happens to be satellite imagery (from ESRI), so it's right on the mark for your question. However there are XYZ tile services for the other popular mapping sites (Google, Bing,etc). A search will turn up the URLs for these other services.

Here are some common XYZ servers (from this link):

OpenStreetMap Mapnick http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
OSM Cycle Map http://tile.thunderforest.com/cycle/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
OSM Black and White http://tiles.wmflabs.org/bw-mapnik/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
