The microwave live link.
You suggest (footnote 25) that the BAOR live link started in 1983. This is a long way from accurate. Most of BAOR watched the SAS storm the Iranian Embassy live via the live link. I didn't. I was in class on a German Linguist course at Mühlheim AD Ruhr, which being a minor garrison had not yet got the link. I was also able to watch the 1981 Royal Wedding live, being sat in a room on site guard, a week before my own wedding.
But I'm not going to crayon all over the page. I'll that to somebody to check the facts. AlienFTM (talk) 10:53, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

message: I corrected the following claims:
* The analogue terrestrial television broadcasts used to be unencrypted, at least in Germany.
* SSVC television was not on the West Berlin cable network (nor anywhere else as far as I know). The reference to the contrary claim to google books leads to nowhere meaningful. If the person who wrote the original paragraph could clarify why he/she thinks otherwhise, I'm happy to discuss.
For reference the original quote:
Until 1994, it was available on cable in West Berlin to non-military audiences.Zitty, Volume 18, Issues 17-19

replies: text: As it is now defunct, and was comparatively short lived, any stand-alone article would be a stub that would never grow. Here it has context and a place. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 19:10, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Forces TV

message: I've removed the list of programmes from this article. Number one reason: completely unsourced. Yeah, I know, we all watched Snodgrass and Hopkins or whatever on it, but people watching stuff isn't a good reason to have an unsourced list that attracts vandals, will never be complete and has no use to our readers. There's an argument for links in the opposite direction - from Snodgrass and Hopkins to this article, but I can't see a useful reason for links in the opposite direction. Your opinions on this are welcome. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 19:10, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
