Umm.... No, you cant shut down sattelites or disconnect them. You can go standby but some residual comm, power and stationkeeping has to remain online. If you can't talk to it you cant restart it, there has to be heaters running, power generation and sometimes limited computer control functioning onboard.
They are also designed to be hit by these events and survive, but sometimes do fail afterwards when all the backup systems fail.
I just don't see netflix saying to their customers: "sorry, there's a space abberation preventing you from watching Bob tonight
