Amazingly live video was detected over Australia today, presumably it was still on over USA!.
Here is a link to the video I received today (in Europe) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j183BLrTZd0 No audio was turned on.
It is expected there will be two more video downlinks next week:
Istituto Sobrero, Casale Monferrato, Italy, direct via IK1SLD The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be OR4ISS The scheduled astronaut is Tim Kopra KE5UDN Contact is a go for: Thu 2016-02-25 09:10:55 UTC 40 deg (***)
Norwich Schools, Norwich/East Anglia, UK, direct via GB2CNS The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be GB1SS The scheduled astronaut is Timothy Peake KG5BVI Contact is a go for: Fri 2016-02-26 14:43:39 UTC 29 deg (***)
From now on we should expect a video downlink all over the world,
before and after any European school contact, and possibly any time.
I have posted more information on the dedicated HAMTV mailing list: https://ca.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/HamTV/
It is likely USA Hams should be able to receive video during the setup pre-european contact. There is info on the equipment recommended here: http://www.ariss-eu.org/columbus/ham-video Please ask if you have any questions. I managed to receive a signal before with just a dish handheld without any rotator. Ideally we would like a group of 4+ USA ground stations spaced apart to give 10+ minutes of constant video, or if you can get a commercial 2m or 3m tracking dish that would need less ground stations.
