TV signals are typically transmitted via satellite or cable. In the case of a flood in England, the TV signals would still be transmitted as usual, unless the flooding has caused damage to the broadcasting infrastructure. If the broadcasting infrastructure is still intact, the TV signals would be transmitted via satellite to a satellite dish in Uganda, which would then decode the signals and display them on a TV screen. If the flooding has damaged the broadcasting infrastructure, alternative methods of transmitting the TV signals, such as using mobile broadcasting units or online streaming services, may be used to ensure that the signals reach viewers in Uganda.

TV signals from the affected area in England cannot reach Uganda directly due to the geographical distance and the curvature of the Earth. Television signals are typically transmitted via satellites in geostationary orbit, which are positioned approximately 36,000 kilometers above the equator. The signals are beamed down to receiving dishes or antennas on the ground, covering a specific geographical area.
The distance between England and Uganda is approximately 6,700 kilometers, and the signals from satellites covering England would not reach Uganda due to the Earth's curvature. Additionally, there are no direct satellite links between England and Uganda that would allow for live TV broadcasts.
Therefore, it is not possible for TV signals from the flood-affected area in England to reach Uganda directly.
