    Any S.C.P.C audio left?

    I still have my SCPC receiver connected as well as the FM2 receiver and the little black box that use to display stock market quotes...

I was a regular contributor to that list, as well as Robert Smathers' South Scanner Satellite...

    VBI Data?

    There’s probably a FAQ somewhere that answers this, but a quick search didn’t turn it up. Do DVB broadcasts pass CC and XDS data in the VBI? Tony Home Page - http://www.cyberspace.org/~awh/ --

    How to identify backhauls/wildfeeds

    First off, what do you do with backhauls in regards to the channel list? Do you keep them, or erase them after the feed is finished? I have added quite a lot of channels chasing sports backhauls today and don't know if there're worth saving in the channel list, as they may not appear on the same...

    I found a blank video carrier (analog) on xpdr 5V (3.8000 GHz), neither Lyngsat or SatcoDX show a C-band in that position and the last satellite I have any record of being there is Galaxy-6 when it was co-located with SBS-6. Is there some recent satellite that was launched testing in that spot...
