ER..UH...yes they can!
I have dish network, have unplugged any phone line to it, had a problem that I explained to them, they accessed my system by sending a personal sat signal to my system to correct the problem.
I watched them do it live on my TV screen!

Yes, they can talk to your receiver but they cannot receive info back from it. The receiver has no transmit capability and the dish you use is waaaaay to small to transmit to the satellite. I have worked in satellite communications and say that with confidence.
Same rumor is false with GPS systems. They CANNOT provide trackng information on your movements to "them".
