we need to take some action to convince the pinheads at DirecTV to put NASA on it regular US broadcast sat(s) as Plus & Para Todos require nonstandard DTV receivers. see DTV reply below. certainly DTV could broadcast NASA during a Shuttle mission, if not 24/7. how do we convince them ?? meanwhile, the web cast is semi ok over my modem. any update on visibility of STS+ISS from its internal lighting, are the lights on 24 hrs a day ? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you for writing. We place our most popular programming, along with some of our public service channels, at our main orbital location, 101 degrees west longitude so customers with DIRECTV receiving equipment will be able to receive it. We use our additional satellite capacity at other orbital locations for programming whose appeal is not as broad. This programming includes NASA TV, Spanish-language programming, local channels for some cities, HDTV and some public service channels. Additional equipment (A DIRECTV PLUS or DIRECTV PARA TODOS System) is necessary to receive this programming.
