well, after watching abc's and espn coverage of the tour de france
bicycle race, I was left slightly disapointed. I'd like to be able
to watch the european (french ) t.v. coverage.
what geosyncronous satelitte do the french use to distribute the video
feed?
It probably wouldn't be too difficult to use a satelitte dish to
receive the french tv feed, the altitude of the dish would probably
be near the horizontal, and a 80 degree LNA or lower would probably be needed.
Also, I think the french use PAL or maybe SEACAM instead of NTSC, so
I would need another tv and/or video tape recorder.
Has anyone had experience in receiving european tv broadcasts on
satelitte receivers?
