Additional info : A weekend special rate is $29.95 that includes
coverage from Friday 5pm(EDT) to Sunday 5pm(EDT). Also last week of
PPV coverage fittingly called 'Finalle Package' starting Monday
is selling for $59.95.

NBC tried to put some of the 'encore' PPV coverage on CNBC
in the middle of the business day(1-2:30pmEDT) but then made a change to
6pmEDT start by issuing another press release late Wednsday.
Friday's CNBC fire-sale of PPV has been moved to 5pm EDT. I checked out
their Thursday's pitch on CNBC and it looked something like a home shopping
channel with NBC's Don Gould doing a hard-sell,"You won't have to listen
to me anymore if you'll only subscribe." CNBC reaches 47 million homes
via cable systems.

Also,the daily rate of $19.95 varies regionally. Some cable systems 
(the sales are really dreadfull) began offering it for $14.95.

Fellow Sat Fans,

Brief note to express mutual interest in successful reception of SCPC
and the proprietary fm signals known as FM2 and FM3. What I have not
seen mentioned in the discussions is that most of these signals are
if not entirely composed of digital signals, entirely compressed
analog, which means that satisfactory reception will involve more
than the use of the oft mentioned "tv band radio...etc." I do appreciate
the input of both novice and the few "information leaders" in this
newsgroup. Best Wishes to all!

Right, that is how they did it last season as well.

They are part of a seperate syndication package from the once a

I *really* hate cutouts like that.  It's ALMOST as bad as watching
something with the actual commercials stuck in.  Fortunately first
run and network distribution feeds are virtually never like that.
A simple little 10-20 second black period is MORE than enough.

 >And there is no "promo" for the next episode, they go right 
 >into the closing credits.  Excellent for archiving on tape.

I don't think so.  The ORIGINAL feeds are by far the best i'd say.
The few commercials are very easy to cut out, and the promos are
worth saving IMHO (I keep all 6 versions).  Plus, why sit pausing
out 2:02 of black when the original feed only has 20 second gaps.
Anyone NOT cutting those out is just wasting 15 minutes of tape 
to record dead video that will only interrupt and annoy you later.

You are forgetting that the House and Senate bills are different enough that
they need a compromise bill passed.  The President has said he will veto it.
Is there enough votes to override the veto?!  Time will tell, since it will
depend on the final bill and how much politcal pressure the President will

Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 18:22:19 GMT

I recently bought a Toshiba 2200 and am less than completely satisfied
with the user interface.  Specifically, I can't create any names for
video/audio stations that aren't already programmed in it's ROM.
For example, I can't create or rename a category to "audio",
with a descriptive station name, say "jazz1", for the jazz station
on s3/11/audio_channel_xyz.  This is particularly problematic since
there are NO audio stations programmed in ROM.

Anyway, I'm ready to exchange it for something different, either
a Monterey 90 or possibly a Drake 1524.  I've been able to use/see a
Monty 90 locally, but can't find a Drake dealer.

A bunch of you regulars have raved about the Drake 1524...  It seems
apparent from those raves that the video quality and configurability on
the 1524 is second to none, but what about the user interface?  Can I do
what I described above (e.g. name/rename categories and/or stations?).

What else do you like about your 1524 and/or what feature(s) caused
you to buy it?

thanks in advance,

AMC is ITC on F3R/1 and CNBC is ITC on G5/13.  

As for Satcom F4R, you are correct in saying that CNBC and AMC are

Interesting about Triplecast...

As of Sunday morning, my Decoder has me authorized to watch them!

It worked yesterday and today on a VCII!

I also noticed AMS and CNBC are not VCII encrypted this week.

It looks like you can get subscriptions on VCII now (not just VCII+).  I
bet they couldn't sell enough VCII+ subscrtiptions.  I think they "borrowed"
the AMC and CNBC VCII tier 'bits' for the triplecast!

Hi there...

I was wondering whether there is any FAQ about satellites etc.
As I am going to buy a satellite set, there is still a lot to learn.
I've got a list of available channels and their satellites. but
there are still a lot of questions like "What kinds of codings are there?",
"How do the major decoders work? (Videocrypt, Eurocrypt)" or
"What exactly is HOMESAT?", well.. stuff like that ;)
I would also appreciate any informations about the ASTRA system (news etc) as
this will be the satellite(s) I will 'listen' to.
Please contact me under: meha@iis.ethz.ch

Thanx in advance and so long

Technically All Ku-Band transponders on PanAmSat can be accessed from
either Europe or North America, the thrre lower frequencies are
transmitted only to Europe the others only to North America. So it is
technically possible for the signal to have come from America, though
it wouldn't make much sense to use PanAmSat in that case, except they've
got some sort of a special deal.

Subject:      NBC Triplecast clear feeds

On the Intelsat at 27.5 West I've found in-the-clear C-band feeds that
appear to be part of NBC's PPV Olympics Triplecast.  My system isn't
equipped to receive circularly-polarized signals but these signals are
very strong, producing a watchable (though very noisy) picture even
with my domestic feedhorn.  As usual with the signals on this bird,
video fine-tuning is necessary because the frequency assignments are
different, and audio is usually found at 6.6 MHz.  I've found the White
Channel by tuning below "channel 5", and the Blue Channel by tuning
below "channel 10."

I've been unable to find the overseas feed for the Red Channel and was
wondering if anyone else has found it or can suggest where to look.  I
kept reading that the Intelsat rescued by the Shuttle was to have been
used for Olympics coverage, and I've also been told (here) that this is
to be found at 34.5 West, but I've been unable to get any glimmer of a
signal (C-band or Ku-band) at that location.  Perhaps the downlink
frequencies being used are outside the range that my system can tune.
Perhaps I have the location wrong, or perhaps there's some other
satellite I should be looking for.  (I didn't find it on Ku-band on
Panamsat at 45 West.)  Any ideas?

A check with directory assistance for Houston Tracker Systems in
Houston, TX and an old phone number (713-784-8953) lead nowhere.

A friend tells me he thinks they have folded.  He also thought General
Instruments was doing their repair work.

Can anyone confirm this or tell me how I can get a remote control for
a Tracker VIII repaired?

Thanks.
