Since I got satellite TV over a year ago, I've enjoyed being able to get
unedited TV coverage of the (unclassified) shuttle missions.  On the
current mission, however, I haven't been able to find NASA select at all.
It used to be found regularly on Satcom F1, channel 18 (don't hassle me
about horizontal vs. vertical please), but isn't there this time.
Where's it gone?  Did they move to a Ku feed, or what?  Yes, I know about
the half transponder on F5, but what I'm thinking of is the full power
transponder ostensibly 'donated' by someone (RCA?).  Come to think of it,
the previous mission, the one with all the Europeans on it, wasn't on F1
either.  Saw bits and pieces on Westar 4, the logo on the color bars said
"JSC to Germany".  Anyone know what's happened?
