Author Topic: What's a "Wegener"? Dave Bird Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 777 From: Perth, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jun 2000 posted 10-11-2001 09:59 PM                        Watching Satellite feeds, it sometimes says: "Stations Must Use A Wegener". I know we have some TV guys here.......so what's a Wegener?  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 10-11-2001 11:45 PM                     Don't know for a fact, but maybe it's this?: http://www.broadcast.harris.com/studio/satellite/dr96q.html  |  IP: Logged Keith Peticolas Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Eagle River, Alaska, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 10-13-2001 06:39 PM                     A Wegener is a satellite receiver/decoder. We used them at the last Fox station I worked at. If you saw something on the air saying to "switch your wegener", someone was asleep at the post.  |  IP: Logged Dave Bird Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 777 From: Perth, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jun 2000 posted 10-13-2001 11:16 PM                        Thanks! It was just saying "Stations Must Use A Wegener", and yes, it was FOX!  |  IP: Logged
