There is a tiny bit of subcarrier audio remaining on 3-4 sats, but virtually everything analog, both audio and video, is already converted to digital. IIRC, SCPC has been gone several years already. I quit looking for it long ago. There's a lot of free audio up there, but all digital, mostly on standard MPEG/DVB, some on 4DTV. http://www.lyngsat.com/ is the place to start looking for what to look for once you have the equipment. -- " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
