              16,  4:02pm)

 At the end of the summer, I switched from subscribing to Showtime to
 subscribing to HBO (plus other services).  I didn't have the "de"
 authorization problem.  I'd think that the authorization center would
 have some sort of master list sorted by vc id number to prevent this
 (but on the other hand, this IS G.I.).  If it was me, I'd call my
 new provider (if you havn't already) and tell 'em the probelm and see
 what they have to say...

 I'd be interested in knowing if you get this resolved...

 THANKS

You can get a (new) Gardiner 0.7 db Ku LNB for about $125 ... 0.8
db Ku is now under $100. You get to add shipping to that (usually
about $4-$6), and Tax if in CA.

Subject: Re: Need List of Stereo Services

Scott:

Virtually all the satellite feeds intended for cable companies are
stereo capable.  The includes all the movie channels, the music channels
(mtv,vh-1,tnn,cmtv,...) and even the network feeds (abc, nbc, ...) which
your cable company gets locally, not off the satellites.

In some cases, the source material is not in stereo, such as a b/w
movie from the thirties, but the stereo transmission capability is
still used; both left and right are the same.

I think the issue with stereo on cable is it was just not designed into
many (most) systems and it is not cheap to add.

As you correctly point out, stereo (and surround) audio is one of the
best reasons to get a dish today.

Yes, I noticed it too. They are still on E2-16 and E2-22 though as per
the following:

        Ch. 16          CBC Radio (East)        5.40
                        CBC Radio (Atlantic)    5.58
                        CBC Stereo (East)       5.76/5.94
                        CBC Stereo (Atlantic)   6.12/6.30

        Ch. 20          CBM-AM Montreal         6.12

        Ch. 22          CBC Stereo (West)       5.76/5.94
                        CBU-AM (Vancouver)      7.425

16 & 22 are OAK scrambled channels which for some reason trigger my
Sierra III to blank the sound and I have to fiddle to get it back.

Also the drama has gone from monday nights at 8PM and Friday
nights at 11:05PM.  Is this the result of cutbacks or did they just
move it?.  They used to have a Sunday afternoon play on CBC Radio
which got moved to CBC Stereo monday nights last fall.  Maybe they
decided the experiment wasn't a success and cancelled it.

Yes and no. The IRD doesn't do signal processing which seriously
affects this. Even on-screen graphics and the decoder circuit should
not be irritated by this, as the signals looks quite a lot like NTSC
with some timings changed.

However the demphasis is sightly different for NTSC and PAl and this
is in the receiver's domain. PAL picturs will slightly blurr (too much
deemphasis) on NTSC receivers, while NTSC pictures on PAL receivcers
are streaking from too little deemphasis. If you're not too picky, it
will not do any harm.

Here are some random notes from the last two days.

Spacenet 2, 22(C) -- SUR has encrypted with a VCII or VCII+ signal.
There is a barker channel on 6.8 in Spanish advising of the encryption
and giving an 800 number to call for subscriptions.  SUR remains in  the
clear on PanAmSat C-band channel 22.

Spacenet 3, 18(C) -- Something strange going on here.  Last night there
was an FM**2 signal identical to that on Spacenet 1, channel 17...
tonight, a VCII signal identifying as "SPECIAL ORDER SPORTS/REDWINGS VS
JETS".

Spacenet 3, 20(C) -- VCC Shopping Channel was here tonight from S3/8.

Galaxy 3, 11(C) -- For some reason the Travel Channel has appeared here,
in parallel to Galaxy 5, 13(C).

Satcom C4, 21(C) -- Discovery Channel has appeared here in parallel to
its other channel which I don't have handy at the moment.

PanAmSat 1, 1(C) -- A new B-MAC signal has appeared here in the last
couple of days.

C-SPAN is relayed as part of the WorldNet TV program, whenever the
USIA (which also runs the Voice of America) is too skinned to put out
any programs of their own. WorldNet-TV goes out worldwide, mostly on
C-Band, but as part of an exchange agreement some hours in the
afternoon are also carried on Deutsche Welle TV in Europe on Ku-Band
and I suspect that's where most people in Europe will watch it.

Subject:      Monterey on-screen menus blurring!

    Hello all!

        I have a Monterey 90 that has been installed and happily running
    since August.  A couple days ago, I noticed that any on-screen display
    generated by the IRD (ie, menus, volume control graphics, etc.) are
    blurred somewhat.  (By somewhat, I mean that if there is a letter "I"
    on the screen, it is no longer a straight, crisp vertical line, but
    ends up "bending" back and forth a bit.)

        No, this isn't a synch problem, as the menus don't roll
    horizontally or vertically.  The real gotcha is that this only happens
    on black (or nearly black) screens!  If I'm on a VCII channel that I
    don't subscribe to, the menus, etc. are all messed up.

        On the other hand, if I am watching something with a light picture,
    the menus are clear.  The menus will immediately have problems if the
    screen gets dark (even if part of the screen gets dark - then the menus
    that's over the dark part starts messing up).

        Any ideas?  This kinda sounds like a level is not quite what it
    should be for the character generator to "lock-on", but I'm at a loss
    to explain why this just happened...

                        Signed,

The UK uses PAL television transmission standard. We use NTSC. That's the
result of a NTSC tv trying to display a PAL transmission. If your set
has a vertical hold use it to stabilize the picture. Sometimes the BBC
news is converted to NTSC then everything is ok.

 I forgot to say as far as winterization is concerned, what some people

 from freezing.  They just stick (don't know how) several yards of the stuff
 to the back of their dish.

 Some questions are whether this might encourage warping and / or electrical
 noise.  Gee - they are cheap. Maybe I'll try one this winter :-)

Try the DW feed on Satcom C4 Tr 4 135 WEST.  I don't think you can see 338.5 E
from here.

Anyone have a KU LNB forsale or know the best place to get a good
price on a new one.

I want to try to upgrade my unit and have located a feed horn.

Hi, I am new to this newsgroup. I would like to get some advice on
good books, magazines or other sources of information for setting up a
satellite receiving TV. How do I find what satellites are there?  What
bands are they using? I am interested in particular in receiving
european programming here in Boston. Can it be done? I know they use
PAL instead of NTSC, but that's not a problem for me...

Thanks for your help.

Glad you brought this up.  I have recently been looking for The
Journal, which has always been a fantastic CBC documentary program.  

Also, suddenly the English CBC FM Stereo service that was on E2/24 has
vanished.  I haven't been hunting yet through the other Canadian
transponders,  but I'm beginning to feel that all the rumors I've heard
about ongoing CBC budget cuts are tending to become real in the form of
service reductions.    

Hoping someone can enlighten us on the subject here.
