If it were in English and in Jerusalem.

If it was How to receive sattelite TV, what you get, and how to use
Linux to get it, you would have a lot more people come. There is a big
market here for private satellite dishes, unfortunately it is served
by people who sell receivers that download the decryption codes over
the Internet (signal piracy).

We'd be interested to host you on the Tel Aviv Open Source Club ( 
http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/telux/ ). We meet on Sundays, 18:30 (possibly later if 
the presentation is short) in Tel Aviv University. 

Please contact me in private if you'd like to schedule a date for the 
presentation.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

 If it were in English and in Jerusalem.

I live in tel aviv, and currently work in herzeliya so it will probably be
herzlinux/telux

about english, that ok with me, but depends on the audiance.
(the presentation will be in english anyway)



 If it was How to receive sattelite TV, what you get, and how to use
 Linux to get it,


This is a too-long of title, but it is covered. (along with any other
practical/technical issue. again depending on the audiance requests)



 you would have a lot more people come. There is a big
 market here for private satellite dishes, unfortunately it is served

yeah, i know. there are also FTA (Free To Air) channels, and one can buy
legal-subscriptions from parties other than yes.
I'll cover that also.

Oh well. :-(

My point, which I did not specificaly say, is that IMHO a lot more
people are interested in the subject than are interested in Linux. 
The short title, with Linux in it, might reduce the number of attendees.

I know about FTA, where does one find out about the legal subscriptions?

(maybe you can post your slides/notes/video)

Thanks,

well, the lecture is both on sat and on linux. I think that people that
dosen't use linux can learn from it as well.
however, regarding using a PC (i.e. htpc), than my only experiance is linux,
as i never used it under the os that must not be named ;-)

anyway, this is a linux mailing list ...

i'ts more than the subscrition: for example. having a legal SKY card is
not enough. you need a big dish to receive the signal in the first place.




 (maybe you can post your slides/notes/video)


I'll probably do that, but not all the info is in the presentation. some
will be answers to questions ...
