[QUOTE="phil835, post: 17965, member: 175457"] Did anyone see the BBC World Logo appear just before the test card on the first occasion it was blanked out though ? Also, I am quite intrigued in how the technology of denying satellite broadcasts is working. First of all we need to distinguish that the Iraqis have terrestrial anologue TV broadcasts, the news often refers to transmitter masts being destroyed and coallition adapted hercules transmitting TV and radio broadcasts in much the the same way as the terrestrial transmitters do. My point being that none of this should effect satellite transmission. However, IRAQ TV is on hotbird 13E in digital MPEG2 and is multiplexed along with several other state TV broadcasts such as Saudi TV, Kuwait TV etc. Anyone could stick up a carrier on 13E to Jamm IRAQ TV but it would also have the effect of blocking out other transmissions multiplexed on the same carrier. I doubt that the Saudis and Kuwaitis would be too impressed by this. So how does it all fit together ? If we know that IRAQ TV is multiplexed with other Arab State TV broadcasts, at what point and where are these separate channels multiplexed, and where is the actual satellite uplink transmitted from ???? Can anyone in the know enlighten me on this. [/QUOTE]
