Based upon some exposure I had about 4 years ago, the video channel
for the shuttle missions is indeed 1/2 width and is carried on
one of the RCA SATCOM's.
SATCOM is the carrier for HBO, SHOWTIME et al.
and should be accessible to your local cable company (if they have
the proper down-converter).
I don't know what it takes to convert from 1/2
channel to the NTSC video the CATV company feeds into the system.

I'd sure like to see my CATV carry shuttle video/audio (my wife isn't
so sure).
