Satellite tv is like radio: big, high power transmitter. Everyone gets the same signal and it only goes one way.

Satellite internet is like walkie talkies: two way and the data is specific to the user. I can get radio from 50+ miles away, but even good walkie talkies fail at a fraction of that distance.
