K+

[John Dunn]

This message is really intended for European users of this list who have access to the Hotbird satellite (and therefore apologies to others).  There has recently appeared an open-access digital television channel called K+, which is showing old Soviet films (1920s - early 1950s, as far as I can tell).   This appears to be a Ukrainian venture, and technical details are: Frequency: 11623 МHz, SR 27500, FEC 3/4, Polarisation V.  There are, though, two drawbacks to note:
1. I believe the channel is due to be encrypted at some point fairly soon;
2. There are no schedules available, and films begin, end and are repeated in an apparently random fashion.
Nevertheless, those with exceptional patience and/or an infinite supply of video-tapes might just find something extremely unusual.

John Dunn.
