    TNAP operators guide?

    Thanks - and to clarify some vernacular - bouquet is a group of channels in a list? Also, what does "zap" in a menu button do? I'll check out the web IF

    What was your favourite memory of a feed or channel on cband before channels got scrambled ?

    Started C band in the early 1990's. We used to get together here to watch the Star Trek feeds on UPN a couple days before they were broadcast. Great one up on the co workers who were fans too.
