[comp.sys.mac.misc] Need info on Apple Product Announcement

pernisek@edinboro.edu (10/09/90)

Recently, an item appeared (on the net, I think) giving specifications
for receiving the satellite broadcast of Apple's Product Announcement,
scheduled for Monday, October 15th...

Since we probably won't have a rep attending the local event, we'd
like to be able to receive the transmission, and view it here at
the University.  Would someone be kind enough to post the info
(if possible) to this newsgroup?  (Others might be interested).

Thanks in advance!

Here is what I got from the net.  Is it right?  We won't know until then.

->	From an Apple press release of 28 September 1990:

-> Apple will be making a major product announcement on October 15, 1990.  
->  For those who have satellite reception, Apple TV is broadcasting the event 
->  over both KU Band and C Band from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, PDT, on the 
->  following frequencies:

->  KU Band                                C Band
->  -GE K-1                                -Westar 5
->  -Transponder 15                        -Transponder 21
->  -Frequency of downlink: 12142.0 MHz    -Frequency of downlink:  4120 MHz
->  -Audio:  6.2, 6.8                      -Audio: 6.2, 6.8
->  -Horizontal polarization               -Horizontal polarization

->	This is all the information that the press announcement gave about 
->	satellite transmission of the announcement.

->	I can't answer any additional questions.
