Dr.Dish:
Usually we are on air with test-patterns or a carrier 10 minutes before the
show starts on air.
DFS-II is a little bit difficult to locate, but most traffic today is
digital. But if you go on Astra to UK-GOLD, adjust the polarization from
horizontal to vertical and then move the dish to the east, you should have
no problem to locate drdish@tv. Since UK-Gold is on 11.553 and we are on
11.548 small minor adjustemnts may nessesary. The audio is on 6.65.
English sound: we hope, we will see Malcolm again, since he did a great job
during the last show. The problem is, he has to come all the way down from
Birmingham.
See you on friday !
