I was received a copy of your e-mail conversation about DW's broadcast going
to a digital satellite receiver.  We were broadcasting DW programming on our
Educational cable channel at the University, and have received the following
information on the equipment necessary to pick up their signal.    

Feel free to contact Greg Fitzgerald with specific questions on working with
your existing system.  Based on the equipment and dish we currently have,
this is what Greg recommended for us (The University of Texas at Arlington,
Video & AV Services Dept.)
