  REGISTRATION OF ALL DOMESTIC RECEIVE-ONLY EARTH STATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO THE 
  PROVISIONS LISTED ON THIS PAGE.  INTERNATIONAL RECEIVE-ONLY
EARTH STATIONS
  ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS LISTED ON EACH INDIVIDUAL
AUTHORIZATION.


      2000 - The hours of operations of this station are not
limited.

      2200 - These  facilities shall be  used for the  reception 
of only
             such  programming   material  that  the  grantee  
has  been
             authorized   to   receive  and  use  by  the  owner 
of  the
             programming material.                                
      

      2464 - The grantee is authorized to add, delete or change
channels
             of program material without further application or   
      
             notification to the Commission, provided: (a) the
carriage  
             of such program material is authorized pursuant to
the      
             Commission's rules, regulations and policies
governing the  
             terrestrial system(s) used to distribute this
material to   
             the end subscribers, and (b) that such earth station 
      
             operations are consistent with the technical
parameters     
             specified in the registration.                       
      

      2465 - This provision relates to potential interference
from
             terrestrial microwave stations.  Operation of the
receive-  
             only earth station shall be in accordance with the
frequency
             coordination exhibit accompanying the application.   
      

      2510 - Waiver of  Section 25.203(e)  of the  Commission's
Rules and
             Regulations is granted  for the beam intersections
listed in
             the application(s) for this facility.                
      



  IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, THE REGISTRATION OF ALL DOMESTIC
RECEIVE-ONLY 
  EARTH STATIONS USING ANTENNAS SMALLER THAN 4.5 METERS IN
DIAMETER IS ALSO 
  SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING PROVISION.

      2456 - No protection beyond that afforded in "Deregulation
of
             Domestic Receive-Only  Satellite Earth Stations"
will be    
             provided for TVRO earth stations.  Due to 2 degree
orbital  
             spacing, "the potential levels of interference
caused by    
             satellite transmissions are already defined and the
actual  
             level of any protection desired by an applicant from
inter- 
             satellite interference for small receiving earth
station    
             antennas will be achieved by the choice of receiving
antenna
             performance selected by parties installing new
receive-only 
             earth stations."  FCC 86-133 36552.
