Goodbye GSN?
 

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I noticed that an
announcement has started popping up stating that Gameshow Network will
no longer be available on C-band effective March 8, 2004. (sigh).
Whether a digital feed will be available is unstated.

No wonder that the BUD is sadly, dying! The time will come that ALL services
on C-band will disappear!

If your lifetime is about 2 years, you're right.

It's changing.

In fact,it's analog that dying -there are 2 reasons for that,one is
technology and the other is cost!

Between analog,mpeg-2 and 4dtv(dc2),c band is more exciting than it ever
was.

All services on C-band, or all services in analog? There are more
signals on C-band than 5 or 10 years ago, but more of them are switching
to digital rather than analog transmission.

If all C-band signals are to disappear in about 2 years, what will the
C-band satellites with 5-10 years before EOL, or those just launching,
carry?

TVRO is changing. Like movings from the Victolla to a Stereo. Things
change in this world. There are so many channels on 4DTV that are not
available anywhere else. C Band is not dying, but analog is. Get into
digital. It is fun.

At this point in time, there's no 4DTV feed planned.

What they carry now, pretty well. Someone is confusing the downfall of
C-band as a whole, with the downfall of home C-band TVRO.
