![]() A Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) compliant Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) is needed for reception. NASA TV is available in continental North America, Alaska and Hawaii on AMC-18C. The NASA TV channels have always been over on the Satcom satellites, namely Satcom F1 originally then Satcome F1-R, and as of the following C-Band and newer Ku-Band ifferings are available. I have watched via an analog C-band reciever and dish mover. I do remember the early STS- single digit flight designations, then the alphanumeric mission coding change due to the upcoming SLC-6 polar orbit launches via Discovery. ![]() As an avid C-Band satellite TV viewer of the late 70's early 80's, NASA Select TV came on the air sometime during this period in time. I'm trying to figure out the time frame when my interest in spaceflight originated. The data bring starkly to light, despite the Huygens landing on Titan and Mars Express, the lack of awareness of the existence of ESA among a new generation of European school children." I'll make further posts about this on this thread. Six of those surveyed listed ESA (<0.5%). When asked to list space exploration organisations 77% listed NASA. A pilot survey of attitudes to space sciences and exploration among British school children "Of those surveyed, 33% were interested in space to 'discover a new planet', and 24% to find life on another planet. There's no demand for NASA/ESA TV on Freeview because in the UK very few actually know that ESA even exists according to this survey. If it were broadcast it would need funding from the UK Space Agency, similar to the way BBC Parliament is funded by the BBC via the license fee, although it the case of the UK Space it would be the British tax payer. Thanks for the info there Is there evidence for lack of interest ? I wonder if any studies have been done on this to investigate the possible level of interest and viewers ? I'll do some digging around and possibly start another thread if there isn't already one as this is OT. I should launch my own sat, or fund my own Freeview channel This makes the lack of streaming options doubly frustrating. I know there are some sat channels but I'm not sure how accessible they are even with Sky or something like that (which I can't afford). I can imagine so many examples that people unaware of what is going on up there might encounter NASA/ESA TV. For agencies that bang on about public outreach this just seems extraordinary. ESA do not rebroadcast NASA TV or even any of their own programming as a stream. There is no NASA TV or ESA TV on UK Freeview. ![]() On another issue, it still astounds me, seeing as my country the UK is funding the ESA that. Started playing NASA TV on my Windows machine. Flash player does not hardware accelerate in Linux using Chrome. I think UStream is supposed to be HD but it's player is very CPU intensive, that's why I always stream using a separate player application. Now the yahoo stream seems to be no longer available. Ironically I never had the bandwidth for theYahoo 1200 kbps stream until I recently updated to BT broadband at 19 meg. The available streams through an IP seem to be at low resolution. Seems like a good service but on my medium spec computer using Chrome my CPU is at 100% when streaming making it difficult to do other tasks. What's the news here ? Everything seems to be through UStream now.
