I see. I was just using those as an example. I'd really like to understand
the Lyngsat listing more. There are several places on Lyngsat where a
single transponder has multiple channels. I just thought it was strange how
a couple of free ones were listed under an encrypted one.
As a similar example, look at Galaxy 4R at 99.0 W. Look at its list for
11820 V on tp6. Notice all of the free stations listed there, yet above it
appears Digicipher. Is this the same thing? Or can I get those stations?
Those might be radio.
As another example, on Galaxy 4R at 99.0 W, look at 3947 H on tp13. It says
DVB instead of Digicipher, and I can get all four of those. But I don't
know what the numbers beside each mean (257, 258E; 513, 514E, 769, 770E,
1025, 1026E).
It would be helpful if Lyngsat had a link that defines all of these things,
but I couldn't find one.
