I've been wondering about this for the last few years or so:

Obviously, the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon is distributed via satellite.  Is it
scrambled or in the clear?  If in the clear, do they cut away to a "local" Las
Vegas site during the cutaway breaks, or do they just continue on with the
regular national segment?

Thanks in advance...

Well, net wisdom on rec.video.satellite (thanks all!)pretty much dictates that 
I leave my old dish beind in L.A., and install a new one at my soon to
be Denver home.


I called DBS in Ventura, CA [(800) 350-0256], and they recommended the
Winegards at the following prices:


		Winegard - 	Quad $399
		    		Pinnacle perf $725
	

Also, he told me cable would be .75/foot (and I'll probably need
100-125 feet).


Lastly, I told them I was toying with upgrading my STS-100 receiver,
and he quoted me the following prices for Monte's:

		Monte 30 - 1259
		Monte 50 - 1349
		Monte 90 - 1699

He said he'd give me a whopping (tongue in cheek) $450 trade in
allowance for my STS. I already own a VCII+, so this shouldn't have
been factored into the price.

Is it just me, or do these prices sound a bit high? Also, are the dish
and cable prices in line, or can I do better?

Lastly - a supposedly knowledgeable person here told be that I'd be
better off with a perforated (sheet metal?) dish than a wire mesh dish
because of the snow load here. Is this the case?

I gladly welcome all insights!

I have a TNC sitting right next to the modem on an AB switch.
But no ham radio.  It would be fantastic to up the rate 1200 and

Many hams people have 202 modem but dont know it. The TNC uses 202 tones.
It would be nice if we could use the SKYLINK system. From what I have

I heard that The Invaders would be shown, but it did not appear on the list

Yep.  That was VERY annoying.  The actual direct launch feed was actually

That is again part of their standard program, however the direct feed of
course has *complete* live coverage of the entire countdown and launch.
Pretty much every Ariane mission has the same very professional presentation
in the launch coverage.  Too bad someone blew the secondary feed.

No, it's not but I don't think of Dark Shadows as Sci-fi either so I thought

That is also a part of Atlas Centaur's coverage.  I liked the
one they did for Galaxy 5.  As Victor Kiam might say, "The Galaxy

Yes, I realize now (after the Email and the earlier r.v.s messages).
I just don't have access to F2R so I had no idea the main launch
feed was there.

I tried to Email you but it bounced. Here is my experience in SE UK.

I use an ex bsb dish with a replacement 1.2 dB LNB on Astra and get watchable
pictures with few sparkles (unless it is raining). Typically Sky, Screensport and
Eurosport are sparkle free.

The cause of the sparkles is a low signal to noise ratio. You can reduce them by
using a bigger dish, a lower noise LNB a lower threshold receiver and a narrower
receive bandwidth. Modern TVRO receivers (not SRX200/400) can provide these
facilites. Having said that I am using a surplus Uniden 7700. Very good but wide
bandwidth. It can be improved on.

In Bristol, being so far west, you may not get such a good picture. Worth a try
though. I was surprised at how good the results were. I used a tin of paint on the
dish to make it black to aid in its disguise. Revox produce a mini-horn antenna
that is claimed to work well, but to my eyes it is quite noticable on a wall. My
dish is in the garden out the back

The feed on F2 did NOT preempt the launch at 7:03 but showed it live
without interruption. There was a lot a pats on the back from the
owners of Satcom 3 and Hispasat 1a to the Ariane team during the time
you were seeing the launch on T1. There must have been some equipment
problem with the uplink aimed at T1.

Some rumors have been circulating that Vision TV (E1-15) is to go to Ku.
On friday night's Friday Night Live, Tracker Bob said it would go away
as early as tomorrow (Tues 9/14/92).  I called Vision TV and they say
no - at least not yet.  They ARE experimenting with Ku band but they
have no plans to switch for at least 6 months.  Like many other small
operators they are concerned with transponder costs being a large part
of their budget and they are looking at Ku and video compression as
being ways to cut costs.  They realize they will lose their US viewers
and probably a lot of rural Canadian watchers as well so they won't
do anything in a hurry without serious consideration.

So there is a temporary repreive, and we can look forward to watching
the new season of British comedies, films and other good programs they
put on.  They put out a magazine once very 2 months and will send you
a copy free if you write.  All year round if you send a small donation.

Some upcoming features include, new series of Last Of The Summer Wine,
also a new series starring Pauline Collins & John Alderton, some good
films "Chimes at Midnight" (Orson Welles), Last Night at the Proms, plus
a lot more I can't remember. I could post a schedule if there is
interest - the US TV guides don't carry program information.

   In any case, have you considered 1200 or even 2400 bps transmission? A year
or so ago when C-Sat was doing PAD stuff, they had a 1200 bps feed, and I had
excelent results with it, on an old 2400 bps modem. I did some experimenting
with 2400 bps on standard cassette tape, and it worked remarkably well.
Considering that the quality of satellite audio is so much better than phone
lines, the only problem I'd see with using high speed modems (9600 & up) is
that they expect a full duplex connection, and the sat would be simplex.

   Just my $.02...
