A few months ago, someone reported having talked his cable company into
carrying NASA's video/audio feeds during shuttle missions.  Now I am trying
to do the same for mine.  Does anyone have any success or failure stories
to relate which might be helpful?

Is there something on that satellite channel all the time, or just during
missions?  Anyone know the truth of a rumor that there is something "funny"
about NASAs use of the channel (what I heard was something like "they only
use half the channel, so it takes special equipment to receive it".  Is
there something else on this same satellite that CATV companies will 
normally be getting, so they will have an antenna pointed there anyway?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Burns
