1998 MLB backhauls as found by Robert Smathers (roberts@nmia.com)

Codes:
ITC = In The Clear, unscrambled
LTCH = Leitch Encrypted, no audio present from the game
LTCH-A = Leitch Encrypted, Audio Clear

Your best choices for feeds:  Galaxy 3R, 4, 6, 7, 9
                              GE-1, 2, 3 
	                      Telstar 4, 5


There is going to be tons of "unidentified broadcaster" this year due 
to the change to LEITCH encryption.  There should also be a lot
less unscrambled games (look at the NBA backhauls, you'll notice
not many are unscrambled).  Having the audio clear would be nice
for identification purposes, but we can only dream...

All c-band unless otherwise noted.


( SPECIAL NOTE:)

Due to discouraging results of backhauls this season (with the LEITCH
system, many more gamess are LEITCH encrypted and so few aren't) that
I've quit looking and I am enjoying my inexpensive Superstation subscription
baseball games (usually two games a day from the Superstations and
from ESPN on Wednesday).  The feeds can still be found on the
satellites T4, T5, GE-1, GE-2, G3R, G6, G9 if you want to continue
looking in the hope of a rare unscrambled game.
