FYI: U.S. Military (not NATO, but can be on a NATO or other base) operates AFRTS (Armed Forces Radio and Television System), which primarily consists of several satellite transponder channels, which are in NTSC format for compatibility with U.S. Service member's TVs. They can be received either 1) directly via a SAT Receiver (e.g. SciAtl D9234 et.al.), 2) via an on-base cable system via STB or in some places 3) via low power on-air transmissions: http://www.scientificatlanta.com/products/customers/prod%5Fcontent%5Fafrts2.htm http://www.afneurope.net/article.asp?id=29535 http://www.afrts.osd.mil/tech_info/page.asp?pg=tech_infohttp://myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/tv/schedule/index.asp Hence on-air NTSC broadcasts can be found in fol. locations around the world: http://www.afrts.osd.mil/facts/7.pdf At the U.S. Military Exchange, they sell TVs that can receive both local PAL broadcasts as well as the NTSC AFRTS channels, which are both carried via the on-base cable system. So, no matter where Our Boys (and their families) go, they can still get OPRAH and JUDGE-JUDY..... holl_ands __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
