(I'm also posting to sci.space.shuttle 'cuz it looks like a good place to
find NASA knowledge...)

Does anyone know where I can get a copy (preferably online) of the
shedule for NASA's satellite TV transmission of the Nepune flyby?
I need details -- I'm helping to organize a renting of a satellite
dish for a group of amateur astronomers to watch the flyby.
I would like at least the following: what is the name and co-ordinates
and frequency (ie channel) of NASA's channel? Is it scrambled? (I'm 99%
sure it's not, but I've been asked to check anyway...) If so, how to
unscramble? Is the coverage continuous starting at a specific time and date,
or intermittent "updates" (this will also help us find the channel if we
encounter difficulties)? Is there a schedule of what actually is going to
happen, ie when are the exciting moon encounters, etc? Will there be
narration?
	If you must know, the gathering is in the Toronto, Canada area
organized by a group called the North York Astronomical Association, and
is called "StarFest". Note I am not officially speaking for them.
 
	Thanks in advance....
