Rangecast is suffering from KSC's network issues at the press site, they are recording but not streaming live audio anymore other than the generic NASA TV feed.

They're giving them down to 5 minutes to fix the problem before the launch gets postponed. Talk about a deadline!

Why don't we get the same feed as the news agency does? I'm on NASA TV and it is 1m04s delay? Are the new agency getting their feed from a satellite? Which I guess is the answer!
Im getting Freedom Star "Booster Recovery Ship" loud and clear here in RI with position reports.

You do. Why do you think it's different?
Where are you watching it? DirectTV or DishNetwork? That's just 1-3 seconds behind the actual. Or are you streaming it? Stream delays are a function of your provider, your Internet, your PC, and the time of day.

off and on for about 8 mins
from high atop sand mountain in northeast alabama, with my bc898t and a scantenna about 25 ft. in the air, i heard the space shuttle discovery. about 1 minute or so after liftoff i was able to recieve maybe 5 or 6 transmissions from about 3:53 central time until about 4:00 pm central time. IT WAS SO COOL!! i have listened to the iss last summer on the ham band when col. wheelock was there, but this was even more exciting . THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE FREQUENCY!!! I REALLY ENJOYED IT!

Weak out this way but to be expected given time of day. Over next hour it should get stronger out here. How long after launch do they normally reach the boosters?

I was on the NASA web site :NASA - NASA TV
And I timed it against CNN and FOX News. I have COX in Enfield ,CT.
NASA TV Live Interactive Media Outlet (LIMO Channel)
Digital C-Band Downlink for continental North America, Alaska and Hawaii:
Satellite = AMC 3
Transponder = 9C
Orbital Position = 87 Degrees West
Transmission Format = DVB-S, 4:2:0
Downlink Frequency= 3865.5 Mhz
Downlink Polarity= Horizontal
FEC = 3/4
Data Rate = 6.0 Mbps
Symbol rate = 4.3404 Msps
This above is why I think I had a delay and the Media did not. OKay?

Just wanted to say to those who contributed the info EXCELLENT JOB! From here in Mt.Top Pa was able to hear about 15 different transmissions in the clear on 259.7. Heard orbiter repeating from mission control their committed to orbit if one engine out, Orbiter advising they had main engine cut off and that the external tank was away. and various other comms. Had 3 different recievers tuned in and all had fairly good signals on all. Spend hours reading on this site and hardy post, but just had to give those responsible a WELL DONE!

Gotcha. The media would have the same delay if they used a web stream, which I explained above. If you had a service like your cable TV, or satellite TV like DishNetwork/DirectTV, you would not have had any delay either. It has nothing to do with media/non-media.
