It can be blocked at will and is blocked in many countries around the world, both the up-link & down-link. There are only so many satellites floating around in space. Not many countries have satellites and the ones that do can control them with a keystroke at any time.
Yes you can receive satellite communication provided it is not blocked but it is ALL in the up link that counts and that's what is blocked most of the time.
