and yes, its 36K km not miles



SKy as we know it uses 28.2E with a little on 28.5

Hold on Ian, I thought signals had to originate somewhere land based before being up loaded to the satelite, like BBC & ITV all start off here in England, and are sent to transmitters via the telephone nextwork, I know that outside broadcasts use the satelites to bounce the signals to the studios, so I suspected a cable fault somewhere, didn't know it was snowing so bad that it had covered the quad head.
Back in the days before satelites when there was only a couple or three channels we we always losing signals because of GPO faults on the landlines before the signals got to Winter Hill.
