In the US, does a new TV "channel" have to go through any kind of approval process prior to being carried on cable and/or satellite? For example, can I just create "Junk TV" and cut a carriage deal with Dish (for example), or is there a federal approval process? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
