Airing of Kickoff....?

[PhillyRobotics]

Hey guys,
Does anyone know if the NASA channel on satellite is going to air the kickoff?
If so, can you tell me the time because I am contemplating having a Kickoff party at mi casa.
Thanks in advance.

You may veiw the broadcast via NASA television if provided in your local area via cable television - to check availability please call your cable company or refer to your station directory. If you access television via satellite the coordinates are as follows; NTV broadcast on GE-2 - transponder 9C - C-band - located 85 degrees west longitude - frequency is 38880.0 MHz - polarization is vertical and audio is monaural at 6.8 MHz.

Last year we were able to record the broadcast on our little dish system, on the NASA channel (channel 213). I would assume it will be there agin this year.

Even if there's no "official" webcast....several sites take the NASA TV feed and stream it online, so you can watch from there...I'll have links to those at a site I'm working on for kickoff...keep an eye on this thread...

As far as I know DirectTV has NASA TV so you can view the kickoff that way.
