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? -- ********** Scott Almburg m-net!sa@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu internet {ames,rutgers}!mailrus!clip!{m-net,chamon}!sa uucp
