Thats the problem with Seti, by the time the signals have got here the originating civilisation has gone and done a monty python sketch with a dead parrot

Can anyone else imagine JT playing the trigger-happy guy who shoots the peaceful spaceman.

I like the part where the android starts vaporizing armored vehicles.

Nope. I'm the hairy professor played by Sam Jaffe ;-)

Me too.

I was 11 when that came out and I saw it several times in theater. I now own it on DVD.

We call it Zagmorp.

Idiot.

And I thought a light year was just like a regular year but with only half the calories. Oooops, that was Light Beer!

GOTCHA!!!

Bzzzzzty WRONG.

Color tv has yet to be broadcast.

B&W is 15,750 Hertz. Color is 15,735

You're saying they didn't pick up the previous signal @ 10.125 kHz ?

Graham

New program, new algorithms, far more transmitters.

^^^^^^ Only if you round it off.

DOn, I know the standards for B&W broadcast. I spent over half of my time in the service working at what was likely the LAST B&W TV station in the US.

We have been transmitting in color longer than we used B&W.

Algorithms ?

Graham

And this is a plot line used in both "Star Trek" where the captain of a missing starship was in control of a planet where they were televising roman style combat, and the old "Battlestar Galactica" where they saw the transmission from the moon of the first lunar landing. "One small step..."

On the SETI end, of course. Once you find fine grain structure in a signal, you play games to extract it.

I do not believe ROLLER DERBY was EVER in color.

Also that it preceeded widespread color transmission by the better part of a decade.

The CTC-2 chassis was in set 252-11, 1954 which is the first production color TV chassis that I know about. The CTC-3A chassis was in set 300-9, 1955 The CTC-4 chassis was in set 314-9, 1956

the electronic index can be downloaded from Sams website, or you can use their online database:

A chart to the dates of publication is available on one of my websites:

BTW, any station that transmitted in color used the color scan rates for B&W programming, but they switched off the color burst to prevent the set from trying to lock onto non-existent color programing. They would switch it on during color station ID or commercials, then back off when they returned to B&W programming.

Hell, the station manager tried to have me court martailed for transmitting in color on a B&W only TV station in 1974. You would have loved the place. Lots of tubes, germanium transistors and RTL logic chips. We had a very early Crown studio audio monitor amplifier, and a couple grass Valley Das with silicon transistors but that was about it.
