Getting the Cats on TV

Post by 94VegasCat » Tue Sep 14, 2004 10:13 am

I know that the CATS are being televised each week. That is great for the program. However, how can I watch them every week in Las Vegas. I have been here for over 6 years and the only CAT game on tv is the CAT-griz game. There is a local sports bar that finds the satelite coordinates of every single griz game and then have huge parties for the griz every week. I would like to be able to go to the bar and watch the boys whoop some ass every week, but I am relegated to the VHS coming in the mail. I caught a few games last year on CSTV.

Answer direct from OMEGA

Ladies/Gentlemen,

OK, OK! There may be a few changes.
The single satellite for the entire season is:
AMC 9
Transponder 11 Slot C (This transponder may change. We will keep you posted.)

Vertical downlink 11915.
Symbol Rate 06471
To receive this signal will, of course, require digital receivers at your head-ends. So here are the things that are needed:

Samsonic BS8100 Digital receiver. Aproximate cost: $179.00

If you do not have a dedicated channel for Omega, and require a switch, Monroe Electronics manufactures a Vertical Interval Switch which will switch from a primary channel to the Omega channel on receiving a signal from our truck. This switch is very reliable and we tested it with Bresnan in Helena and Billings last year with 100% success. The approximate cost for this switch is $400.00 plus shipping.

Last but not least you need a LNB to receive the AMC 9 digital signal. You can attach one to an existing dish. (we did this in Billings last year). Or you can add a standalone 1.2 meter dish for about $300.00 plus shipping if you don't have one (In our test last year, Helena used a separate dedicated small dish).

All of this equipment can be purchased through Kelly Connole at RapComm. He can be reached at 406-560-7266. He is also available to provide telephone or on-site consulting.
Cable providers who have a current agreement to receive our games will receive a $100.00 discount on their Omega subscription if they choose to participate.

Questions regarding the satellite can be answered by Kelly Connole or Mason Park at 406-949-2849.

I don't like it when my cat gets on the TV. Wait a minute, I don't have a cat anymore. Turns out they don't do very well in a microwave on high for 60 seconds. :mrgreen:
