I'm no space expert, but I'm not sure this would be say better. It would certainly be epically more expensive.
Two obvious issues spring to mind;
The orbit would need to be polar to avoid being blocked by the earth (assuming the craft is in the solar plane). Whatever orbit was chosen at least some planes some of the time would be obscured by the earth.
And orientation fuel becomes an issue. Outside of refueling it becomes a hard end-of-life factor.
Contrasted to land-based stations. Which are happily operating 50 years and can be maintained etc.
Frankly I'm not sure there would be any advantage to a space receiver- and it's several orders of magnitude more expensive.
