First of all congratulations to the entire Fox team. I know that everyone is excited about the possibility of another FM bird in the near future.
As for Ham-TV, I agree that more information about the ground station requirements would be most welcome. I just managed to win a TechnoTrend S2-1600 HDTV satellite PCI Card on ebay ($60 bucks with shipping) so I hope this is a good start on a complete station.
The next hurdle for me will be assembling a workable antenna and I assume an AZ/EL rotor with automatic tracking? It does seem like information is incomplete considering how close to the go live date we are. I know that this type of digital TV is in wide use in Europe, so maybe some of these folks can lend the yanks a hand?
