Yeah, it can only be in a fixed location if it is in a 
"geosynchronous orbit"--it rotates at the same (angular) rate as the 
Earth--and that is only possible directly over the equator.

If it pointed North and moved around a lot, I suppose it could be 
tracking a satellite in some other orbit.  Or it could be 
intermittently picking up signals from a passing satellite in some 
other orbit.  But it seems unlikely a TV station would would bother 
with such a non-standard hookup.
