The South Scanner Satellite Services Chart is (C)Copyrighted
1991, 1992 by Robert Smathers, Albuquerque, New Mexico USA.
Based on an idea by Gary Bourgois, it has been designed to keep
the home dish owner up to date with the many changes in the
satellite television hobby.

Many hours of personal observations and contributor reports have
been compiled into this chart.  Errors are bound to happen,
especially since services can change quickly.  Care has been
taken to check the accuracy of the information.  The publisher,
Robert Smathers, is not responsible for any errors. Corrections,
new additions, or comments should be mailed to one of the
following electronic mail addresses:

Welcome to the South Scanner Satellite Services Chart volume 2
issue 1!  The first anniversary of the chart was November 27.

Jay Novello in North Carolina has continued to keep the Atlantic
satellites section updated.  He has updated the listings for the
Intelsats, TDRS, and PanAmSat.  Because some trees lost their
leaves, he has been able to add the Statsionar, Hispasat, and
Telecom II satellites that can be seen from North America.
He also was able to give me the latest listing of SCPC on Galaxy
2/3 as well as a thorough update of Galaxy 2, Spacenet 2, and
Satcom F2R.

There were a lot of additions to this chart.  I went through and
added ATIS frequencies as well as added some of the data
transmission frequencies.  Satcom C3 and Satcom C4 were updated
(they've blossomed with activity since the last South Scanner
Chart came out).  I also took out the note section due to the
chart being long enough.  If you want the type of news that was
in the note section, please listen to TVRO talk shows or read
TVRO newsgroups on computer networks.

Philip Dolve in Los Angeles asked for and received permission to
make the electronic South Scanner chart a printout with tables. I
granted him permission because I felt he was doing a beneficial
thing by printing out this chart on paper (especially for some of
the readers who do not have access to a computer).  This was the
first special project for this chart.  Listen to Gary's show,
Friday Night Live, Friday evenings at 9pm ET on Spacenet 3R/21 at
5.80 MHz to find out if Philip will make the SSV2N1 chart
available in printout form for just the cost of postage and the 8
1/2 by 11 inch envelope he uses.  I would like to thank Philip
for this service.

The second special project is putting this chart on audio tape
for the benefit of our sight-impaired friends.	I have no problem
getting it on tape -- what I am working on now is how to
distribute the tape to those who want it.  If you have any ideas
on distribution, let me know.  Once I figure out everything, I'll
actually record it on tape and get the distribution going.

Since I am too far west (and also have trees in the way), I
cannot receive the Atlantic Intelsats, TDRS, and PanAmSat.  I am
leaving it up to the east coast readers to keep that section
current.  If you can receive those satellites and see changes in
the services, please let me know and I will update that section
with the information I receive.  If you have a frequency listing
for the Intelsats (most of them don't have one in this chart)
please let me know so I can get it into the chart.

When Intelsats and other such satellites start transmitting to North
America from over the Pacific, I will include those in this chart.  I
have a clean shot to the west, so I should have no problem with
observing those.

If you have any more features you want to see in this chart
please write me a note and I'll consider it.

Trees at my dish site do not allow for the viewing of signals
from Galaxy 2, Spacenet 2, and Satcom F2.

Also, I am too far south to receive the Canadian KU-band birds.
I would appreciate someone charting those satellites for addition
to future charts. This chart features a partial list of services
on all of the above mentioned satellites.

Legend
------

The format:

SAT-TR  CODE  AUDIO   DESCRIPTION AND/OR NOTES

SAT-TR:  The satellite and transponder of the service

CODE:  A descriptive code for the service

       The codes used in this chart:

       SCPC - Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) service
       FM2  - FM Squared Audio Service
       ITC  - In the Clear.
       VC2  - VideoCipher 2.

       PAL  - PAL format signal.
       DAT  - Digital Audio system
       D2MC - D2MAC transmission system
      SECAM - SECAM format signal.

AUDIO:  The audio channels used for a service

DESCRIPTION/NOTES:  Description of the service and/or notes where
                    needed.

----------

o/v:  Occasional Video -- Various types of occasional feeds; if a
      primary user is found, I'll change "o/v" to the primary user's
      name.  In this chart, primary users can be mentioned as using an
      transponder on an occasional basis.  Those will be marked by the
      primary user followed by the "o/v" notation.  There will be no
      codes and audio channels for occasional video services without a
      primary user.

o/a:  Occasional Audio -- Audio is heard on an occasional
      basis or audio may be present on an occasional basis

(none)  I use this to describe a transponder that I have never
        observed video on or a service left (listed in a previous
        South Scanner Satellite Services Chart) and I have not seen
        any video since.

UA:   Not Available -- This signal is scrambled with a
      scrambling system that is unavailable to the home dish owner
      in the United States.

VC-II:  The video or the channel is scrambled with the General
        Instruments (R) Videocipher II system.  Most of these VC-
        II scrambled channels are available to the home dish owner
        in the United States via subscription.

VC-II Plus:  The video or the channel is scrambled with the
             General Instruments (R) Videocipher II Plus System.
             Most of these VC-II Plus scrambled channels are
             available to the home dish owner in the United
             States via subscription.

Oak Orion:  The video or the channel is scrambled with the Oak
            Communications (R) [now known as TV Communications
            International] Orion system.  The Oak [TV
            Communications International] Orion scrambled channels
            on the Canadian TV satellites are not available to
            the American home dish owner. Most of the Oak Orion
            scrambled channels are available to Canadian dish
            owners via subscription.

BMAC:  The video or the channel is scrambled with the Scientific
       Atlanta (R) BMAC system.  Most of the BMAC channels are
       not available to the home dish owner.

LEITCH:  The video or the channel is scrambled with the LEITCH (R)
         system.  The LEITCH scrambled channels are not available
         to the home dish owner.

VC-IB:  The video or the channel is scrambled with the General
        Instruments (R) Videocipher 1B system.  These channels are
        not available to the home dish owner.

FM2:   The audio is delivered via a method known as FM Squared.
       A simple explanation:  FM Squared signals require a video
       carrier to exist.  FM Squared signals are similar to audio
       subcarriers as we know it except for the fact that they are
       located below the 5.00 MHz audio subcarrier frequency that a
       normal satellite receiver can tune to.

SCPC:  The audio is delivered by a Single Channel Per Carrier
       (SCPC) transmission.  A SCPC transmitted signal is
       transmitted with its own carrier, thus eliminating the need for a
       video carrier to be present to exist. Dozens of SCPC
       signals can be transmitted on a single transponder.

ITC:  The service is "In the Clear" or not scrambled.

ASC:  Audio Sub-Carrier.  The audio service is delivered by an audio
      sub-carrier.  An audio sub-carrier requires the presence of a
      video carrier to exist.  If you take away the video carrier, the
      audio sub-carrier disappears as well.

PAL:  The service is transmitted in the PAL format, rather than NTSC.

DAT:  The service is a digital audio transmission.  There is currently
      no way for a home dish owner to receive a DAT service.

D2MC:  The service is transmitted in D2MAC.  The D2MAC signal may or
       may not be encrypted.

SECAM: The service is transmitted in the SECAM format, rather
       than NTSC.

ATIS:  Acronym for Automatic Transponder Identification System --
       the morse code that contains the Uplinker Name, Uplinker
       Telephone Number, and the Uplinker License Number.

-----------

- On the satellite uplink/downlink frequency chart, the
  polarization of the transponder can be found in parenthesis in
  the transponder column.

- If only the video is encrypted, the code column will have the
  encryption system used with the video, and the audio channel
  column will have the program audio channels.

- If both audio and video are encrypted, the code column will
  have the encryption system used, and no audio channels will be
  listed.

- All channel numbers for C-band satellites are indicated with
  their dial position on a 24 channel analog dial.  All channel
  numbers for Ku-band satellites are indicated with the actual
  satellite manufacturer transponder number.  Please consult the
  frequency list in the header of each Ku-band satellite for a
  downlink frequency for a particular transponder.

- For the FM Squared and SCPC Signals -- I am using a TV band
  radio for reception of those signals.  I have listed the services
  so that the services located towards the top of the list are
  towards the left of my TV band radio dial and the services
  towards the bottom of the list are towards the right of my TV
  band radio dial.  Also, many of the SCPC signals found in this
  chart appear on an occasional audio basis, so you may not find
  a desired channel when you go searching for it.

- A "|" character next to an SCPC or FM Squared listing indicates
  that two services are sharing the same SCPC or FM Squared
  frequency (at least it appears that way on my TV Band radio)

- A "/" character will be used to denote stereo pairs on the
  program audio listings.  On the left side of the slash will be
  the frequency for the left channel.  On the right side of the
  slash will be the frequency for the right channel.

- Observations for the Intelsat/Panamsat Atlantic satellites were made
  with no special equipment to receive circularly polarized feeds or
  exotic downlink frequencies.  There is no way to see services spot
  beamed to South America or Europe.

Programming Note:  These services are gradually going to move off F4R
and go to other satellites (common satellites to move to are Satcom C1,
Satcom C3, Satcom C4, and Satcom F2R).  Most of these should be gone by
February 1993.
