    May 1997 listing  
    ATTENTION!  The loss of Telstar 401 meant a lot of midnight oil for the
    whole Wildfeed Workers List.  Special thanks to all, especially Stargaze 
    for handling block time assignments, Vidiot, for creating the change 
    lists,  Stephen Barnes for rewriting the software to accomodate the 
    emergency, Phillip Chein for corrections and observations, and to all who 
    participated in the complete rewriting of the list.  What you have here 
is 
    to the best of our ability the most accurate wildfeeds list, 
incorporating 
    ALL the moves that occured this past month.
    Please take time to read the information contained below, there are some 
    important changes you should be aware of.  It has been mercifully
    shortened.
    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.
    We no longer post the list to wildfeeds@cms.uncwil.edu because this 
    listserver bounces the entire list back to me for every person who 
    dropped their ISP without unsubscribing, or other mail problems.  I can 
    not deal with that volume of mail.  The only sources for this list at the 
    moment are rec.video.satellite.tvro and the websites that carry the list. 
 
    We recommend you access it through the Smathers site:
    http://nmia.com/roberts/robert/html
    Click on "GARY'S INFO FILES".  You will find the list there by the third 
    of every month.
    I will again be able to send the list out via email as soon as the lopez 
    site is repaired.  For now, do not write me, I can not send the list by 
    email.
    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.  
  NOW THE LIST:
... TV Agent -- customization, details, timeliness -- 130+ TVRO channels
--- PPoint 2.00
