SkyLink Information Jan 28/93
From Bob Hamilton 1:140/119 (306) 789-1899 Data or
(306) 789-9080 Voice
==============================================================
First let me say that I have only used my SkyLink demodulator for
about 2 days so don't expect me to have ALL the answers just yet.
Requirements: A C-Band Satelite system with a baseband out
(they sometimes use other names but almost
all units have this output)
A SkyLink Demodulator
A membership on SkyBoard
Here's some information about SkyLink that I have picked up. To
make a long story short, it's a cheap way to pick up files off your
satelite dish without paying long distance. You need a special
demodulator ($130US) from Home Shopping Club at 1-800-366-4010 and
you need a membership on the SkyNet BBS ($50 but going up to
$96/year real soon).
The contact person at SkyBoard is Boyd Goodin (1:3615/50). Here's
the details: Boyd Goodin, Sysop: SKYBOARD BBS Skylink Communications
Newport TN.
(615) 623-8203 ## HST\V42.bis ##
(615) 623-8111 ## V32.bis\v42.bis ##
(615) 623-4694 ## VOICE ##
For that you get a more or less steady stream of files. You receive a
text file once in a while that lists the type of files to expect each
day (ie Saturday - Games, Sunday - Music, Monday - Education...). In
addition you get a file list on occasion which gives the names and
descriptions of the files you should expcect to see.
SkyLink also sends out weather maps in PCX format and a number of
Fidonet Echo areas in .QWK format. They are just getting into
providing the TV listings for satelite dish owners but the service is
still in beta testing.
Good points:
1) Free Files - cool new thing to do with your dish!
2) Bad Points
You have to have your dish tuned to Home Shopping Club (F4-15) to
get the files. Not a big problem since the files repeat fairly
often. You can just leave your dish on at night and get the files
you need.
The software REALLY lacks even the most basic features. For an
example, you can NOT have your software reject files from a certain
area. You couldn't, for example, instruct your software to skip all
the weather maps or turn off the GAMES area, etc. You can't instruct
your software to pick up JUST certain files and forget the rest.
The concept is to make SkyLink a 2 way project. You would send a
file request to SkyNet BBS and the files would turn up on your system
in a few hours. This feature is not included in the software and
doesn't seem to be in place yet.
The next release of the software is due shortly so perhaps this
will be fixed soon. In addition, they plan to release a new
service aimed mainly at the BBS sysop. You may need to buy a
different demodulator... time will tell. The service will be
called SKYLINK/PLANET CONNECT. That's about all I know about it.
So enough from me. Here's what I've learned from the "horses mouth":

Bob. Thank you for purchasing our product. If you dont want to send in the
application and wait for your copy of our software you can susbscribe to
skylink while online with our BBS at this number. Processing will take about 24
hours and then you can call back and download the latest version of the
software that will save everything to disk. We are transmitting at the present
time Shareware and PD IBM compatible programs, Up-to-date weather and satellite
pictures in the pcx format, and also updated daily fido-net conferences in the
qwk format. Testing has begun on the transmission of SDN (Shareware
Distribution Network) files through SKYLINK. We will be adding more services as
they become availible to us. Subscription price is $50.00 U.S. per year. There
may be an increase with the additional services but you will be notified of the
increase.
========================================================================
Here is one of the text file updates they send out every day as an
example of what to expect:

║ ATTENTION BETA TESTERS ║
║ ║
║ The Beta version of TVAGENT, our tv listing program, is now ready ║
║ on Skyboard for beta testing. The daily TV data will be sent over ║
║ Skylink. The Beta software will only be on Skyboard until the beta ║
║ period is over. ║
║ ║
║ If you would like to Beta test the new program, call Skyboard and ║
║ leave a message by using the comment to SYSOP section of the board.║
║ Leave as much information about your experience with Beta testing ║
║ or computers in general. Boyd will review the requests each day an ║
║ give approval by the next day. ║
║ ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
PLEASE IGNORE THE TVLIST??.ARC FILES THAT YOU WILL RECIEVE IN
YOUR PERSONAL DIRECTORY. TO VIEW THESE FILES YOU NEED THE
PROGRAM TVAGENT. THESE FILES ARE INTENDED FOR OUR BETA
TESTERS. PLEASE DO NOT CALL OUR BBS AND TRY TO DOWNLOAD THIS
FILE, AS IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO OUR BETA TESTERS.

║ SKYLINK/PLANET CONNECT AUDIO SUBCARRIER CHANNEL ║
║ ║
║ We now have a audio subcarrier operating on G1-9 audio subcarrier 5.8 ║
║ Mhz. A looping announcement is now being transmitted to help everyone ║
║ find the channel. At this time we are working on some phone ║
║ connections to allow live call-in shows which will be carried on this ║
║ audio subcarrier. ║
║ ║
║ If you do not know how to adjust the audio subcarrier on your receiver ║
║ or IRD, consult your owners manual for audio tuning or subcarrier ║
║ tuning. Some of the manual tuning receivers have a knob on the front ║
║ panel that tunes the audio. Many IRD's have a up and down button on ║
║ the remote control for this purpose. A few IRD's require a switch to ║
║ an on screen display menu to tune the audio. ║
║ ║
║ As soon as we have the setup for going live, we will put a notice on ║
║ the subcarrier channel and here in FILEVIEW to let you know when we ║
║ will be doing our first program. ║
║ ║
║ ║
║ Thanks for your interest. ║

THE FUTURE OF SKYLINK: PART 3
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ We here at Skylink/Planet Connect hope that all of you came through ║
║ the Christmas and New Year period without gaining too much weight. ║
║ Thinks have been very busy here at the office getting ready for more ║
║ new services for 1993. Version 3.0 beta is now being tested in-house ║
║ and will begin initial testing on the satellite in about 2 weeks. ║
║ Several new conferences have been added to the Skymail system and the ║
║ response has been excellent. One of the new conferences is the TVRO. ║
║ This should be very interesting for many of you since it deals with ║
║ home satellite information. Let us know which others you would like to ║
║ see. We will be sending a list of all the different ones in a few ║
║ days. We can start sending those as long as room permits. ║
║ ║
║ We have worked on pricing during the last few weeks and have been very ║
║ careful about adding high expenses that could increase the ║
║ subscription to unrealistic levels. The following services will be ║
║ added to Skylink starting in January and February: ║
║ ║
║ TV LISTINGS: This will be a complete hour by hour listing of all ║
║ programming on approximately 50 different channels sent via satellite. ║
║ All of the movies and programs will have extended descriptions on the ║
║ content of each program. Custom configurations for each user will ║
║ allow unwanted programs to be excluded from the display to help with ║
║ the amount of information. Time zone adjustments are built into the ║
║ program as well. ║
║ ║
║ INSTANT ACCESS WEATHER: We will be changing the weather to allow ║
║ quicker access to the information by sending overlays of maps instead ║
║ of the entire PCX files. This will allow the information to be sent ║
║ unziped and quick access from the main menu of version 3. This will be ║
║ added in March. ║
║ ║
║ FIDONET CONFERENCES: Read and exchange messages with computer users ║
║ around the world with the wide variety of messages being sent daily. ║
║ Replies can be forwarded through Skyboard. ║
║ ║
║ FILE REQUEST SYSTEM: ║
║ New files are being added to Skyboard to improve the list of available ║
║ files. The file transmit option has already been added to the files ║
║ directory of Skyboard but the uplink portion will not be ready until ║
║ the Version 3 system starts up. ║
║ ║
║ IMPROVED SHAREWARE AND PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE SECTION: ║
║ Since the Version 3 software will allow marking of the files you want ║
║ to receive, more files can be sent daily without the problem of ║
║ filling up your hard drive. The quality of these files is also ║
║ improving with our connection to the SDN and other sources of up to ║
║ date files. ║
║ ║
║ This is most of the new services that we will be added in the early ║
║ part of 1993, but there will be constant improvements to the software ║
║ and content of our transmissions. ║
║ ║
║ The new annual subscription price for these services will be $96.00. ║
║ That equates to only $8.00 per month. As you probably know that amount ║
║ doesn't buy you much when it comes to files and computer information. ║
║ We believe this is an abundant amount of data for this amount. With ║
║ Plant Connect coming online some of you may wish to change to that ║
║ service after it begins. If so, we will allow you to transfer your ║
║ subscription to the new service. If you have concerns about the new ║
║ rate, please let us know via Skyboard or by writing to Skylink, P.O. ║
║ Box 1172, Newport, Tn. 37821. ║
║ ║
║ If you have a subscription that expires during January or February you ║
║ will be hearing from us in a few days. ║

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE IS SKYMAIL.REP TO BE UPLOADED TO ANY BBS OTHER THAN
SKYBOARD BBS!!!! This will just cause undue hardship and frustration to
the sysop of the board that you have uploaded the packet to. SKYMAIL.REP
is only designed to work on SKYBOARD BBS. A lot of time and efford on my
part has gone into preparing these QWK files so that it can be
distributed as fast as possible over the satellite. Please take the time
to be a little carefull and read the documentation that is included with
the SLMR and OLX or whatever offline mail-reader that you use. It will
explain things a hell of a lot better than I ever could.
Thank you....
