NASA TV on Sky Digital

Hi,

Picked this up on uk.sci.astronomy. I dont have this fancy technology so cant check, but may be of interest to some of you. Watching the ISS live cant be any worse than watching Big Brother after all. (No you cant evict anyone from the ISS!)

Cheers,

No, it's not a joke - NASA TV comes to Sky Digital on the 1st of October.

NASA TV will be shown on Channel 268 at these times:-

Weekdays:
*16:00-17:00 (LIVE ISS coverage)
*20:00-21:00 (Recorded ISS coverage)

Weekends
*17:00-18:30 (Live broadcast)

More time will be allocated to NASA TV should it prove popular, so please
spread the word, and also e-mail any comments/suggestions/praise to
David(at)friendlytv.com

If they receive enough encouraging emails, hopefully they'll add more NASA
TV to the channel.

Nice one. it's about time we had this option over here. My fear is that sky coould either pull it or charge extra for it.

I tried watching it tonight but for some reason it didn't appear to be on.
Anyone know why??

I'm just guessing here Michael, but is it possible that the times Albert got are actually in EST (Eastern Standard Time)?? If so, then you would add 5 hours for our time.

Unless they're just late by a day... try again tomorrow?

Seanie.

Hopefully they're just late by a day. The times are correct though as they have NASA TV listed in their schedule for those times.
Will tune again tonight. Meanwhile, let's cross our fingers!

cool! ... must check that out!
