Check again. It should be there.

PBS is subject to statute 605 (c):

(c) Scrambling of Public Broadcasting Service Programming

No person shall encrypt or continue to encrypt satellite delivered programs included in the National Program Service of the Public Broadcasting Service and intended for public viewing by retransmission by television broadcast stations;except that as long as at least one unencrypted satellite transmission of any program subject to this subsection is provided, this subsection shall not prohibit additional encrypted satellite transmissions of the same program

Since PBS has encrypted feeds on 101W and 103W which are retransmitted by the broadcasters, they must provide unencrypted feeds for the rest of us. If they don't, you can call your Congressman and get them in trouble. :lol: PBS, are you listening?

All,

PBS has lowered the satellite transmission power on 125 west. If this is a permanent state of affairs, you will need a ku offset dish with a diameter of at least 1.0 m or 39 inches to lock these feeds. If you are using a big dish with a c/ku prime focus feed, you probably need a 10 footer to lock them now.
