Bugger off. I've already built a retaining wall with analogue receivers.

How about a videocrypt decoder then? Or D2-MAC or ...

So the uplinks are FM? Really?
I meant the downlinks, but at 28E there have not been any FM ones for
several years.
The satellite sends back what you send to it, in modulation terms, so
you are just showing up your own ignorance even more.

Well most broadcast ones do, but nothing in the rules says the Scottish one
must - it could just send a test card, or just occasional spikes to create
errors in the received signal from Astra.

I've lost track, whose satellite, and doing what exactly ?!

I have a summer house made from videocrypt decoders. The roof is tiled
with BSB squariels. The furniture is made from analogue TV sets. The
internal walls are made from the elements of 405-line aerials, woven
into basketwork panels. The wallpaper is Hullabaloo and Custard leaflets.

Incidentally, does anyone want a couple of dozen Channel Five diplexers
(ch37:rest of band)?

You don't seem to understand what a satellite transponder is and how it
works. It's pointless carrying this any further.

I've got about a dozen ch37 ones and a few ch35 ones. They were actually
very good filters. Very good accurate deep notch. Seem to think the ch37
ones were black and the ch35 ones fawn.

In my van is a tobacco tin containing 300/75 ohm baluns from the days
when some tellys (Scandinavian ones) were 300ohm, and some FM tuners
(Jap/USA) were 300ohm.

My Ch35 ones are black. Never used one in anger (yet)

Once upon a time, around the Heathrow Airport area, they would have been
useful in getting rid of the radar interference.
