Met Opera: 13th October

Posted on October 13, 2012 by satfacts

UPDATE: Apologies for the delay in the feeds reaching IS-1002. Seems our friends at the teleport have got a broken transmitter dish. They are busy outside trying to fix it. Sorry

Good afternoon and welcome to another Season of the Met Opera.

All feeds are dues at 1430GMT/1530UK/1630WEurope.

REMEMBER: this year all feeds are DVBS-2/QPSK/Pilot OFF

Call your in-house helpline if you cannot tune. After so many years of practice I am sure that won’t apply to you.
