    NBC Affiliates on Ku-Band Satellite (1997)

    Look at the chart. There was one transponder that was a test card used to identify the satellite. The rest of the transponders were available to anyone to rent for a fee. Are you just going to pick another satellite and ask the same question over and over?

    NBC Affiliates on Ku-Band Satellite (1997)

    The only people who would know which specific affiliate leased what satellite/transponder when would be whichever company owned SBS-4 at the time, possibly the television station themselves. I really doubt they would tell you who rented which transponder 20 years ago. It never was published...

    Now that we've cleared those things up, where do you get the idea that KTLA and WPIX were on E2 Ku in in VideoCipher "in the clear"? Those channels were in VideoCipher II, scrambled (not clear) on 87W C-Band according to the chart you provided. There were never any VCII channels on Ku Band...

    Joseph, What does the term VideoCipher mean to you? What is the difference between C and Ku bands? Who are "they"? You're still looking at archived satellite charts from the 90's and you still don't know the difference or even what you're looking at. Please provide a link to the chart or source...

    I'm pretty sure that transponderman is a user that was banned fron Rick's before and is now using another user name. That or a strange coincidence that they type exactly the same way with way too many commas and a lot of unnecessary caps.

    I have a question for you, Joseph. There was an occasional RCA Communications feed on Satcom K1 Tr 22 Ku @85w on 5/15/1988. Where did it move to after 2002? Please, I need to know for my research purposes and archive documentation reasons.

    Go look at the charts, Joseph. Maybe the reptilian elite illuminati overloads hijacked all the signals as part of their master plan?.

    No. Look at the charts. None. Must be some sort of conspiracy. Did you forget your helmet on the short bus this morning, son?

    You thought wrong. Look at the chart in post 53. How many Ku feeds do you see?

    NBC Affiliates on Ku-Band Satellite (1997)

    All of those stations were on C-Band not Ku on S3R back in 1999 as well according to the internet archive. Same transponders just not Ku band, my man. They were likely DBS local network uplinks. There were a lot of local networks uplinked on C-Band to DBS back in 1997. Why bother? Were you even...

    Joseph, May I ask where you get this information that all of these local stations were available 24/7 on Ku Band satellites then? Did you look at the Ku chart from 1999 that Primestar31 linked from vincor? That's what Ku looked like then and is pretty accurate. Aside from NBC East,W,M,Pacific...
