Slightly off topic, but I have a neat little gadget called a "Sync-a-Link", which can reverse video and/or add sync pulses. So it would take that video you're watching and make it viewable. I used to use this on VCII channels. THe VCII video isn't encrypted, only the audio is, so you could use one of these video reverser/sync inverters and view the video on VCII channels. Of course, there was no audio. I used to use it in conjunction with internet radio to watch football games, except that the audio would be about 60 seconds behind the video, which was a bit strange to watch. It was at a time when the raw backhauls had the video encrypted but clear audio, while the VCII had the audio encrypted but the video only reversed. If I had 2 dishes I could watch the audio on one sat and the video on another, but I only had 1 dish then. Now I could do it, but they don't do it that way anymore. (Ie raw feeds digital, and Sunday Ticket went off C-band) :-(
