If the mesh is not fine enough, you'll lose signal at Ku frequencies.  I
had to upgrade from mesh to perf when I got my Ku upgrade.  You probably
don't need the larger dish for Ku anyway, unless you're a big fan of news
feeds from mobile trucks, etc.

It is indeed uplinked in stereo.  Your cable company, like most, are too cheap
to install the necessary MTS encoders to get the stereo to you.

I know this is off the subject, but this caught my eye, ie relative
to the internet being "free".  I recently heard a rumor, actually
a comment by an Army network computer type person, that there was
an effort in the works to charge for internet usage by time!  This
would be a shame if it happens, because I doubt if most sites could
afford to pay for usenet groups and/or mailing lists, and or access
to FTP databases, etc.  I hope this was just a false alarm, but was
wondering if anyone else has heard this rumor.

Well, I did it again!  

I went observing for the South Scanner this morning.  All went
fine.

I finished the observations and then I went to show my dad
something.

I showed him DW TV, and I told him that we would hook up the Janiel
and listen to the DW world service.

I hook up and Janiel and all of the sudden my ancient system
doesn't work anymore!  I am having a horrible streak -- two
not working receivers in 3 weeks time.

What is strange is that I didn't do anything that I did not do this morning
(I hooked and unhooked the Janiel several times because it affected
the picture quality). 

Currently the receiver (with LNA hooked up) outputs black
screen (with or without sat signal).  Based on this, does
anyone have an idea what I might want to look for as far as
trying to go about fixing the receiver?  Also, I would like
to try to get a schematic for this receiver -- it is a Janiel
BCR-250 in the hopes I can fix it (I'd be glad just to get
it to backup status again). 

I have a bunch of old 70 MHz receivers (ones with a separate
power line to dish), but I don't have 70 MHz LNA yet, so I am
going to look around the local shops for a cheap used one.  

But until then, I am absolutely without satellite.  We'll see
if I can survive!  ;) 

Good news:  I should get my good receiver back in 2-3 weeks (in
time so I can get in some good observations for the Dec South
Scanner).  

Good news:  I got the South Scanner observations done, so this
issue should be good.

Good news:  I still have a good computer and Internet connections.
I can at least keep up somewhat with what is going on untiol
(until) I get a receiver back from the shop.

I'll probably be back to C-band only in a few days (it was
so good to get some 70 MHz receivers for free a few months
ago from a friend -- now to find LNA's to match it).

I just want to know how I get so unlucky sometimes!

The answer is NO - only cable TV subscribers can get the fight PPV.

Does the recently passed cable bill contain any provisions to stop

I don't think it's been mentioned here (I did hear it on FNL last week), but G7
(at 91 degrees) is doing visible testing. I caught a couple of solid black 
screens on some of the transponders (C band) last night. I haven't seen any Ku tests
yet (of course it would be hard to tell with SBS4 still there..) The best way to 
program in G7 is to go to SBS4 (Ku) and then switch back to C band - it's right there.
If you don't have Ku, it's just to the east of G3.

I'd say stick with a nominal bandwidth around 180 khz.  That's what I
use most with the I-COM R-100.  25 khz seems way too narrow.

Also, FWIW, many receivers don't use 70 mhz as an i.f. anymore, I believe.

Ok, ok, ok....

I've been justly flamed.

Protection of copyright is something I've been...intimately involved
with lately, and it's a bloody difficult thing to protect your own
"intellectual property" from someone whose sole intention is to rip
you (me) off.  To see someone flagrently advocating stripping someone,
even if it is "someone" as vague as a production company, studio, or
network--is more than a little irritating.  Call it a hot button.

Now, I know everyone jumps up and says, "The airwaves are free!"  But
copper is also free and trees are free and you will notice that books
are not free and computer services are not free (not even the internet--
remember to thank the U.S. DOD whevever you pop up here).  

Reception of unscrambled signals is permitted by law.  Scrambling is the
legal mechanism for actively protecting copyright in both the satellite
and cable media.  You purchase the rights to view (and optionally--and
legally--record) programming just as you purchase the rights to read a
book when you buy one.  But everyone knows this....

The situation in Mexico (and to a lesser extent Canada) is similar to the
situation in Europe...and indeed around the world.  International copyright
is a screwy, convoluted issue--and not just for satellite, though it's
certainly VERY screwy, and maybe the screwiest.  But software and print
copyright is also in the process of being hashed out internationally, and
I'd be the last person to offer a guess as to what the result will be.  Almost
certainly some international equivalent to copyright, but just what...who 
can say?

So...I flew off the handle.  I admit it.  It gets my goat to see discussion
of the commission of a crime (and to my mind a particularly repugnant one)
on a public network.  First, it really isn't supposed to be permitted.  And
second, it borders on conspiracy, which is also criminal...and also not
supposed to be permitted on the internet.

I apologize to the net, and to the original poster for jumping right into
a flame.  Hacking away at VCII+ may be allowed there, and I know it's
difficult to be in a position of knowing the signals are there, but not
being able to legally view them.  I wish I could get AFRTN or ABC straight
off the satellites, but I can't.  In Mexico I know that there are few
legally available networks--so...apologies again.  I'm not sure I wouldn't
do the same.

If I were in Mexico.  (But most emphatically not in the U.S....)

Actually, I said the same thing myself once, but was corrected by someone
saying that there is, like, ONE channel available in Canada which can

I don't that there were any outside the US/Canada, though.

Maybe with the change of government and a telecommunications aware

Depending on the TV, this may or may not be correct.  Using the Toshiba
2200's S-video out vs RCA out with a 5' projection big screen tv, I have
seen the difference with my own eyes and it was remarkable.

I don't understand it well enough to explain it in detail, but the improved
picture quality has to do with the relative abilities of the IRD vs the tv
to convert or filter the signal into a proper final format.

In the past, Bob Hoffman sent me an explanation about the signal conversion
process.  With your permission Bob (if you're reading this), I could post it.

I have seen occasional messages here about buying uplink time. If
I were to go about buying uplink (video) time, where would I
begin? I guess step one would be to find a studio that they'd let
us use!

Is Ku much less expensive? For the application I have in mind, Ku
is preferable since most of the target audience are not dish
owners and they'd have to buy equipment for this purpose.

Gary? Robert?
