Re: [IRCA] Possible Russian satellite programming on 1710??
Are we possibly jumping the gun here in thinking the programming is from
Russia? Walt has already emphasized the 1710 station is airing Christian
programming in the Russian language. It seems unlikely to me that a
non-Christian country, Russia, would be broadcasting a Christian program on
satellite.

I checked G25 for radio services in Russian and there are several, but
all are scrambled, so a subscription is needed to receive those
service(s). I get a couple hundred TV and 100 audio/radio services on
the KU side of G25, but the rest are scrambled. I do get a few Russian
TV stations, including "Russia Today" in EE that broadcasts news and
doc. 24/7. There is a company that sells the receivers and a person can
sub to their favorite TV and Radio services and you buy a card and pay
by the month. I get what is free. I just have a basic free-to-air
receiver. But I would guess the pirate is getting the service off G25.
They are probably a Russian family that subs to the Russian package and
they are rebroadcasting the radio station to serve the Russians who live
in the area.
