Thema:	 CTU 900 D2MAC Decoder
Datum:	25.11.97 17:30:32 MEZ

Sirs,
	Reference to an e-mail posted yesterday re the above, I too had trouble with
the instructions/set-up etc & in the end managed to obtain a copy of a User
Manual (in English) for a CTU 902 decoder from Philips themselves. The unit
is very similar to the 900 model. If anybody is interested I will send them a
copy of the 902 manual if they send an SAE (A4 size if possible) to the
address that follows. 

Best Regards

Yes,,o.k. Ray I`ll concede that point. However I feel it was CNN`s
influence that gave rise to Sky News and even some of its format -
remember the blatant copying of CNN`s programme "Crossfire" which Sky
nicked and put in Tebbitt and Mitchell in their version.

Depends on what sort of "facilities" you're referring to.  CNN has had a
news bureau in London since its start in 1980; on the other hand, AFAIK the
CNN International service still comes from Atlanta.  It's not a "European"
service, and isn't intended to be one any more than BBC World is.
