Greetings video buffs, I have recently installed a home satelite
receiver, and am over the initial shock of the awesome amount of
signals that can be received.
Using a Kenwood R-1000 I am able to recieve many data channels,
phone conversations and fax signals, but the signal that
interests me the most is netnews.
I understand that netnews is on the VBI (vertical blanking
interval) of WTBS on Galaxy 1, channel 18. The book "Tune The
Hidden Signals on Satelite TV" (available from Universal
Electronics, 4555 Groves Rd. Suite 3, Columbus, OH 43232 614-
866-4605) touches on teletext, and VBI information.
If anyone has experience in receiving ascii data over a satelite
antenna or any articles about non-video signals available on any
satelites, please let me know.
Thanks in advance, Joe.
