I was hoping it would be along the lines of NASA TV. Instead it's the Russian Orthodox Church. In Russian.

I've renamed the majority of the channels
on the list. However if I want to go back and scan a SAT for whatever reason, the channels from that SAT get renamed back to whatever their default names were. So my question is, what is the best way to add a new channel and scan for it without it affecting the channels that are currently on my list. What I've been doing is to just add the new TP then scan only that TP.

Is there a better way of doing it?

My definition of a VLD is something, say, bigger than 15+ feet in diameter. An amateur radio group in Japan was temporarily allowed to use a 60-foot commercial dish for Earth-Moon-Earth contacts. It resulted in fun for those who used it and those who were able to have 2-way contacts with Japan using this mode. Plus it was technically educational too, which is always a bonus.

60-foot commercial dish used for amateur radio at 8J1AXA from 2008~2010:

We Americans sure do know how to spend money. We probably should spend more time going to the gym instead of spending all this money for TV. But, we need our "down time", also, of course. :popcorn ]]> The FTA Shack johnnynobody http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/311600-cost-of-watching-TV
