I've not heard of that... maybe it's some special show on PBS or something?

there are allot of mining shows on the outdoor channel...I'm not sure if that is fta or 4DTV (ITC) because I don't currently have C-band, but it is on G10 C-band (looks fta on lyngsat).

C-band takes a large dish (incase you didn't know)

The only Mining shows I have seen are the Gold Fever shows on the Outdoor Channel. I use to be addicted to that show especially when the old buzzard George Massie was still alive.

That's mining of a different sort, wouldn't you say?

Never panned for gold, although when my Uncle was young his dad kept him and a neighboring Ranch Kid busy digging a gold mine... ( no gold in the Guadalupe's unless the spaniards left it in the 1600's ) it was about 40' deep

I'm anxiously awaiting the The Paving Channel and The Dredging Channel.

There are companies that produce and distribute via satellite feeds work place training videos and such as that. I believe there used to be one such company called Primedia. Some of their feeds were encrypted but there may have been some that were in the clear from time to time. If you work for a mining company perhaps they purchase such programming from a company like this and that's what your friend at work was reffering to. Also perhaps he was confused about the signal being FTA. It may be that the signal is in fact DVB but the recievers used have either a CAM mechanism built in or a card slot that's used along with somekind of access card. I know the company I work for recieves such programming in this manner.
