I tuned in SELECT numerous times from UNC-Chapel Hill, which has a pretty good view of F2R. While I'm no expert on satellite TV, both I and our communications director had trouble getting a good signal. Generally we had to fiddle with the skew setting of the receiver and nudge the antenna back and forth. It seemed to be best ~2 degrees further east than the claimed position, in general. -- Jon Leech (leech@apple.com) Apple Integrated Systems __@/
