Fox Broadcasting Company Satellite Coordinates
These coordinates were provided by Ken Carlsen. They are a few years old
and I have no idea if they are correct.
NOTE: DO NOT CALL ANY PHONE NUMBERS ON THE TEST PATTERENS, SLATES OR ANY
"NOT FOR AIR" PROGRAMMING. This is used for the exclusive rights of the
uplinker, affilates, troubleshooters and other people assocaited with the
broadcast. Sometimes if a broadcaster hears from "back yard dish" folks,
that may scamble the feed. Fox, unlike other networks does not scamble
feeds, but the equipment is in place to scamble the transmission of
signal. Moral of the story: "Don't ruin a good thing."
ANOTHER NOTE: A broadcaster also reserves the right, to move to another
satellite without notice to anyone except affilates So if you cannot find
a feed DO NOT CALL FOX BROADCASTING COMPANY, call a satellite dealer he or
she may know.
