Astra 1O

This is the frequency plan of the satellite Astra 1O:

TP  Frequency    Polarization Bandwidth
71L 10,986.5 MHz horizontal   33 MHz
77L 11,103.5 MHz horizontal   33 MHz

The two transponders of Astra 1O will carry DVB-S signals with symbol rate 27500 and FEC 3/4. They will broadcast information for viewers which have a DVB-S(2) set top box, but still a low-band LNB. --84.61.139.62 (talk) 08:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Most interesting. Thanks very much for that fascinating tidbit of knowledge. Not sure what I'll do with it; maybe I'll just store it away in my "Miscellaneous" file. Bye now.

PS. Is there something we could help you out with? A question, perhaps? -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 08:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

b a robertson and b d robertson scottish musicians

according to the births of these two artiststhey were born on the same day and year,is this correct — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.30.192.97 (talk) 11:18, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find a reference to any Scottish musician called B D Robertson. Perhaps it's a typing error? Alansplodge (talk) 11:53, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems so : Brian_Robertson and BA_ROBERTSON, although I've only ever heard of Brian Robertson being called "Robbo", never B D Robertson. --TrogWoolley (talk) 21:33, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

VH1? List Of Top 100 Songs Included Shakira's Wherever, Whenever

There was a program on Muchmusic many years ago, which was I think VH1's Top 100 songs for possibly the 1990s. This list had Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever". I'm looking for the list.Curb Chain (talk) 13:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well as it wasn't released until 2001, it's unlikely to be the 1990s. Maybe for the 2000s? --TammyMoet (talk) 17:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would Muchmusic do a list of VH1 songs? They're entirely different organizations. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 19:19, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Muchmusic (and MuchMoreMusic) plays shows from VH1 and MTV all the time. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It may be "MTV's" though I doubt it.Curb Chain (talk) 19:38, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the VH1 top 100 list of the '00s: [1]. The only Shakira song on it is Hips Don't Lie. RudolfRed (talk) 19:25, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, i've googled it, and that list came up. Is there a list that lists the songs from the program? because I am almost certain that "Hips Don't Lie" does not show up on the list i am talking about.Curb Chain (talk) 06:42, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Stobbs A Boy Named Alex

In the documentary A Boy Named Alex, Alex Stobbs plays a piece on the organ at the end of the documentary, I think all the way into the credits. What is this piece?Curb Chain (talk) 14:03, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know, but to help others search, the title of the documentary is A Boy Called Alex (not "Named"). StuRat (talk) 23:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What was the first film awards?

The first organization who gave an award as accolade for film. I know that the first Kinema Junpo awards was in 1925, there are an earlier film awards? 82.81.169.13 (talk) 21:00, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
