The chart is based on an idea by Gary Bourgois. He was tired of his channel chart being out of date and recommended that a chart be created and updated by the rec.video.satellite Internet users. This chart will be distribued at irregular intervals, and I plan to have the chart distributed as often as I can. This first issue will just list the video channels and audio on the 6.2 and 6.8 analog subcarriers. Future issues should include a more complete list of analog subcarriers, a list of wild syndication show feeds, a list of possible professional sports backhaul locations, and hopefully Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) transmissions. Trees at my dish site do not allow for the viewing of signals from Galaxy 2, Spacenet 2, and Satcom F2. Also, I am too far south to receive the Canadian KU-band birds. I would appreciate someone charting those satellites for addition to this chart. Legend: o/v: Occasional Video -- Various types of feeds are shown; if a primary user is found, I'll change o/v to the primary user's name. NA: Not Available -- This signal is scrambled with a scrambling system that is unavailable to the home dish owner in the United States. Videopal: The General Instruments (R) Videopal order recorder is required along with the VC-II or VC-II Plus to order pay per view events. VC-II: The video or the channel is scrambled with the General Instruments (R) Videocipher II system. Most of these VC- II scrambled channels are available to the home dish owner via subscription. VC-II Plus: The video or the channel is scrambled with the General Instruments (R) Videocipher II Plus System. Most of these VC-II Plus scrambled channels are available to the home dish owner via subscription. Oak Orion: The video or the channel is scrambled with the Oak Communications (R) Orion system. The Oak Orion scrambled channels on the Canadian TV satellites are not available to the American home dish owner. Most of the Oak Orion scrambled channels are available to Canadian dish owners via subscription. BMAC: The video or the channel is scrambled with the Scientific Atlantic (R) BMAC system. Most of the BMAC channels are not available to the home dish owner. LEITCH: The video or the channel is scrambled with the LEITCH (R) system. The LEITCH scrambled channels are not available to the home dish owner. VC-IB: The video or the channel is scrambled with the General Instruments (R) Videocipher 1B system. These channels are not available to the home dish owner. - If both audio and video are encrypted, the notation will be: Fully Encrypted {scrambling system} - If only the audio is encrypted, the notation will be: Video Encrypted {scrambling system}: Channel audio on {audio subcarrier} - All channel numbers are indicated with their actual dial position on a 24 channel dial, especially for KU Band. Your KU Band channels may be different from mine due to a lack of a standard KU Band format.
