pleasantly surprised that we have been able to avoid an outbreak of World War 111. It would seem the kittens are a bit too yanng to be much interested in fussing and our cats are just too old to care one way or the other. To date the kittens have completely rearranged everything in the lower portion of our kitchen cabinets and eaten most of the leaves off a large potted plant in the living room. For some reason we suspect the best is yet to come. TILL NEXT week ..

Satellite antennas expand television channel selection

Up to 90 television stations, including specialized cable amd entertainment can be beamed directly into your living room thanks to the development of satellite television antennas,, or “dfates.” AH across the country these satellite dishes are bringing the VIUWCI Ok ML OLaLIVIIO beamed by microwave from several satellites orbiting the earth. Each commimication satellite has the capacity to handle up to 24 television channel signals carrying everything from sports, live entertainment, children programs and adult entertainment. The number of stations available depend on the number of satellite beams received. According to Stan Walter of World Scan Satellite Television Systems, these Television Receiving Only earth stations offer “an outstanding range of programming unequalled by cable or local television. ” “The days a viewer was locked into a handful of moderately interesting viewing channels are gone when you own a satellite,” said Walter. The Wabash-based business is showing a new eight-foot Orion satellite television system at the Warsaw Holiday Inn Friday and Saturday, Jan. 21 and 22, from 10 a.m. toßp.m.

NEW VIEWING HABITS — Teteviston satettto dishes like this e—e mnid change the TV viewing habits of Americans. These special sateHtes enable the viewer to select up to to channels by receiving —towwave beams bin orbiting television satellites in space. (Photo by (ary Lewis)

Tie new system can be purchased for $1,995, but a few short years ago a similar system would cos: 325,000. The satellite can shilt its direction to pick up a nuriber of different satellites, Walter said. “All of the satellites are in a rout," Walter noted. “Once you tune in on one you can move very easily to the others either by hand, or by motor drive from inside the house. * The motor drive operation is an additional feature that’s available. The primary requirement for a TVRO antenna in this section of the state is a clear view (no trees or buildings in the way) to the southwest at about a 23-degree angle upward. These dishes are made from various materials, including aluminum and fiberglass, with a metal mesh inside the covering. Every manufacturer sees advantages in his own system and disadvantages in another but all require very little upkeep. Generally, the antenna lead-in is connected to a receiver unit in the house winch is in turn r, o»’ netted to the television. Moving the TVRO from satellite to satellite increases the viewing options and the tuner inside the house selects the channels. The television is left on one station and the tuner does the rest. “As channels are added, you den t need to add equipment. Just select the channel,’’ Walter said. The units qualify, in some lending institutions, for home iriprovement loans with no money down and up to five years to repay, putting the units within range of many pocketbooks. As the technology increases, the prices could get lower. The World Scan offer does not include installation; however, the newer models now only require a post tnie in the ground while the Earlier models required a cement slab. — But the most important installation requirement, Walter noted, was the siting of the satellite dish for proper reception. “Sting the satellite is a job for people with expertise in the field. It requires a very accurate

process and people need training to do it properly/’ he said. A 1971 graduate of Ball State, Walter has used his electronics major and radio and television course work for the last 12 years in his satellite television business His business now has three full-time technicians to assist in installing the dishes. The earth stations use free airwaves available to anyone. The Federal Communications Commission deregulated the satellite signals in 1979 and as long as the signal is used by the individual for his own entertainment it’s legal. If the TVRO owner pulls in the signal and then sells it to someone else, without proper authority, then it is illegal. Walter said. Five home movie or entertainment channels, three “super stations, ” two 24-hour news stations, a financial news network Ration, a 24-hour sports station, a 24-hour weather station, a station transmitting live reports from the United States Congress, and a 24-hour stereo music station are available with a TVRO unit. In addition to the Warsaw showing, Walter is planning on showings in other communities in this part of the state. The lifetime Wabash resident's business is located at 525 W. Main Street in Wabash. He and his wife Connie are the parents of two children. Deer Cause Accident Robert G Geil, 33,306 John St, Syracuse, was involved in a car deer accident Monday morning, Jan. 16.
