ATTENTION IMPORTANT NEWS STUFF BELOW. Now you can have the list
EMAILED to you EVERY MONTH!
Published monthly at Marquette Michigan, the land that time forgot.
Every Effort is made to keep the list accurate, however due to constant
changes in uplink schedules, the occasional typo, or brain burp, the
author is not responsible for hair pulling sessions from users who set
their VCR to tape a feed without verifying it themselves first.

If I missed someone, let me know!
Many of these fine folks are members of the WILDFEEDS WORKERS
MAILING LIST. In the past we encouraged the Internet TVRO community at
large to send us their wildfeed finds. This is no longer the case. Since
we have a very specific requirement for data format, and prefer that the
finds be checked against the weekly master list that all members receive,
we ask that if you want to help, and ARE a dedicated feed finder you join
the workers list. If you wish to become a participating member, write me
for details. All members are expected to provide help with the list, but
the membership requirements are easy to meet. In exchange, you will
receive a special workers list about once a week, and the best wildfeeds
information on the net. (Members DO get a lot of EMAIL) I can be reached
at:
birdwatcher@genie.com
The Wildfeeds Workers List Administrator is Mike Brown,
vidiot@vidiot.com, you may also write to him for info.
Please do not send unsolicited feed information just because you find
something that is not on this list, it is very likely we already have it,
as we have dozens of folks scanning the skies who are list members.
EMAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS!
Write to satlists-request@fnl.net
If you can't get in, usually you have spelled something wrong. If
you need help, EMAIL: flash@fnl.net
LOPEZ is still offline. Do NOT write to:
flash@lopez.marquette.mi.us for any reason it will only bounce on
you.
You can find the list also at:
http://nmia.com/~roberts/robert.html
Click on "GARY'S INFO FILES". You will find the list there by the third
of every month.
Thanks to Scott Barnes for writing the entry/sorting/checking/reporting
software that is used to prepare this list, which corrects
several problems we had in preparing the list.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
About the format of the list:
This version is in two forms:
1. Sorted by Name Sent as part #1
2. Sorted by Time Sent as part #2
MF means Monday Through Friday
(5x) means a block of five shows fed in a row
(New) means first run episodes (and possible season reruns)
(Old) means syndicated run. These are shows from previous seasons
(Clean) means NO COMMERCIALS. These may have the commercial space
cut out, OR may have black spaces where commercials go.
(Sec) means SECONDARY AFFILIATE, exclusively used with UPN shows
(UPN) means primary UPN feed, the one with the ICKY LOGO. Tape
the (Sec) feed if you can, and try for a (Clean) feed if
available.
((((( IN STEREO )))))
We get asked again and again, BUT it is not possible to list audio
subcarriers. This has been discussed at length, and it would just add
another potential for innacuracy to the list, and take up megabytes of
unnecessary NET bandwidth. *ALL* network subcarriers are stereo 6.2/6.8
(NO MONO FEED) with 5.8/6.2 used in some rare instances on syndicated
feeds, like T1/05.
Paramount on T1/03, and UPN on T1/19 use 6.2/6.8 for stereo, and
5.8 for the mono. WB uses this same setup, so you will need to store
TWO settings for G4/07 if you tape any WB shows (So far we have found
nothing on WB worth taping)
It really makes no sense to take up a field in the list, as well as
megabytes and megabytes of net bandwidth, when stereo transmissions are
not that hard to figure out on your own.
1. They always follow the above conventions
2. In just about every instance, they are listed on the slate prior
to the show starting. Paramount does not list their frequencies,
but we know they ALWAYS use 6.2L 6.8R 5.8M. Paramount sometimes
does a LEFT-RIGHT-CENTER-SURROUND test prior to the start of their
syndicated shows, so you can verify you have set it right (6.2L
6.8R)
3. If you do any amount of wildfeed chasing, you will program your
receiver with the correct freqs for those channels you tape.
ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN (TOTZYWEN) (The Only Time Zone You Will Ever Need)
When submitting material to the list, please USE EASTERN TIME. Even
California based uplinkers like 4MC use Eastern Time as their standard
time. We recommend you set your Satellite VCR to Eastern Time, not only
for reporting feeds, but also for taping your favorites.
We use 24 hour Military time at the request of the majority of our users.
