as with the Galaxy 4 shutdown affecting people (post-May 1998) including Ku-Band viewers, and along with Ku Band satellite, what was the channel listings with these satellites? (PAS 5, SBS-4, SBS-5, SBS-6, GE-1 (used for NBC feeds), GE-2 (satellite used for Primestar services), GE-3, SN-3R, SN4, Telstar 4, Telstar 5, Satcom-K2, Canadian Anik E1, E2 & C1, G7, G8I G-Star 4 etc...), I wonder what the listings/satellite chart for 4DTV Ku-Band (both Subscription & Free-to-Air) was like back then? (also include Ku-Band alternatives like Ka-Band, Kf-Band & K-Band)
Ku-Band had virtually few satellite than its C-Band counterpart.

but wouldn't you happen to have a satellite chart of Ku-Band satellite (regular)/4DTV? (see if you do while I ask Robert (& look through one of these forums & links) or visit SatForums, from another post I read (from: rec.video.satellite.tvro) Ku Band viewers would watch superstations KTLA/Los Angeles, WPIX/New York City, WGN/Chicago, WSBK/Boston in the clear on 4DTV on Anik E2 (part of Starchoice Digicipher II choice of programming). But couldn't they also get Primestar channels on GE-2 including local stations? (West: KOIN 6 Portland (CBS), KCRA 3 Sacramento (NBC), KABC 7 Los Angeles (ABC), East: WUSA 9 Washington, D.C. (CBS), WHDH 7 Boston (NBC), WSB 2 Atlanta (ABC), KTVU 2 Oakland-San Jose (Fox-West), WTXF 29 Philadelphia (Fox-East), PBS-X, WGN Chicago (WB) also carried on Canadian satellite systems).
