A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Interesting Sky at Night just now.

Apparently the scientist have retrieved almost all the 'lost'data using other communication channels from the probe, and so theres a good chance of some more pictures and a bit more about the passage down through the atmosphere.

You can see the programme streamed on the BBC website

Just found this clip of the probe's final descent . The graphics and ambient 'music' come from the onboard tracking instruments.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

That's pretty cool, almost like a display readout from Star Trek!!! But those sounds are pretty intriguing, I wonder if they're used for associating the received date with the visual readout? Like using different audio frequencies for the relavent pieces of data... :)
