I am surprised that there aren't more newsfeeds on the satellites above the U.S., or perhaps there are but over here I can get feeds from CBS, NBC, Fox occasionally and I used to get the CNN Newscource feed but now encrypted. Do you guys get feeds being sent back to Blighty by the BBC or Sky...

'lo guys... As I live in the UK I am very interested how the FTA satellite hobby is there in the USA. Is it me , but it seems like the FTA hobby has only just got going. Why does it seem to me that the FTA stuff is frowned upon? Is it the big boys like DirecTV and Dish will be loosing out or...

I take it posting to the UK isn't possible...??

Sorry Guys... I have found the website very slooowww on this side of the pond...especially on the podcast page. When I try to download a podcast an error comes up after about 5 minutes saying the file name cannot be resolved (or something as such) and I'm just wondering why. Other webpages not...

May I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Day from this side of the Pond! Don't forget not to drink and drive.... you'd spill it! ;-) Geoff B

I find the podcasts informative. They give me an insight into the world of satellite in the USA. It's a good thing to see what goes on over there accross the pond as well what happens here in the UK. Keep up the good work guys... Geoff B

I'm also from the UK, joined 6 months ago,not far from the Welsh border. My "satellite downlink" setup is at my mother's place near a town called Newent in the county of Gloucestershire. May I say hello to everyone from the UK and US!

I find the Lyngsat charts aren't updated as often as he used to also, so what's the point of the box if the database isn't up to date. I find a blindscan receiver would be of more use. Here in the UK channels move around, dissappear and appear regular so a database would have to be the...

Thanks for the greetings chaps. Sorry that I don't own a shop. I thought most modern satboxes were of universal power supplies nowadays and of 50-60 hertz.. I maybe wrong. As far as I know... there is no such thing as an FTA mpeg4 receiver...as there are only demo channels here in Europe but...

... my name is Geoff and I run the radsat.co.uk website. If you look at the site you will see my satellite equipment. The reason I joined is to see how the satellite hobby works in the U.S.A. and, if it's ok with you guys, any information that would be useful on the website. I live in a...
