If your work involves assisting in delivering forbidden things to people through satellite channels, then it is not permissible for you to continue in it, due to the words of Allah Almighty: {And do not cooperate in sin and aggression.} (Quran 5:2). And whoever fears Allah, He will provide for him from where he does not expect, and "You will not abandon something for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, except that Allah will give you something better than it."
