GSN and C-Band
Ian Wallis:
I was watching GSN for a while this weekend, and at the top of every hour they're running a brief notice that states:
"Effective March 8, 2004, GSN will no longer be available on C-Band. Contact your local satellite dealer for details".
I'm not sure how many still have these dishes, but for people like me it looks like I'll be GSN-less for a while until I get an alternative.

I saw that on a C-Band/4DTV forum a couple days ago - that is truly bad news. It doesn't do me any good while I'm at college, but it's too bad I won't be able to see GSN at home anymore. This is just another part of the movement away from C-Band to newer digital technologies. In fact, the satellite guide OnSat reported a few months ago that the number of C-Band subscriptions have fallen below 500,000. Quite a shame.

That is truly a shame...That's the first place I ever got to see GSN (when it was TRULY a sight to behold), long before it hit most cable systems and definitely the little dishes...
Good old G7-6, I'd bug people with BUD's to tape some of it for me...

Man, I hadn't thought about that in a long time. I got to see GSN from the beginning by virtue of working in a school district that had invested heavily in satellite technology and then didn't do anything with it. I had four dishes all to myself, and one of them was always tuned to G7, T6.
And how to remember? Goodson (the "G") has seven letters, Todman (the "T") has six.

Wow that's too bad. I don't know if we had our C-Band connected at the time (it's not connected now) GSN premired, etc. We've had the satellite out there in the backyard (the satellite is HUGE) for a long time, but don't use it anymore. Again too bad that C-Band is fading out, of course, it is not something that surprises me.
