Doctor Dish -General satellite TV questions; 
Dr. Dish has quite a lot of knowledge about digital satellite TV.
http://www.drdish.com
He also hosted a useful program every month covering satellite TV topics. Recent programmes have contained a lot of info about digital TV & D-Boxes in particular.
It could be found on DFS2 Kopernikus, 28.5 degrees East 11.548 GHz.V. Audio subcarrier: 6.65 MHz, 300KHz bandwidth, 50uSecs de-emphasis. It is hoped that this service will resume sometime in 2000, as a digital MPEG service.
See http://www.drdish.com which archives the questions & answers
& will give the time/date of next Doctor Dish TV Show.
