Lauren; have you gotten any response from the manufacturers yet about the Stargate decoders? Is the hardware any closer to production? May we help? Is it possible to develop hardware that will also decode the other blanking interval info? Is such a question heretical? Is it possible that this board and the Packet radio fraternity should be talking? Would that be something that will be added as soon as there are enough of these made to justify the vlsi replacement part... ( grandiose as you may think of that now; you just mark my words... ). What will Christmas 1986 bring? Now that satellite receivers are priced less than $800.00 complete around here, they should be a reasonable family present. Even Radio Shack carries them now, Ohmidawd. 13 Satellites; each with 24 channels ( magically transmitting on 12 transponders ) and each channel has its own 800 number and a promise to send you a 14 carat holy artifact with each donation greater than $25.00.
