Getting
University of Alaska Television
There are a number of ways you can receive UATV. One way is to check
with your local cable station to see if they carry the channel in
their lineup. If your cable company does not carry UATV, write or
call them to request that they carry it. Many cable companies don't
carry UATV simply because they have not had any requests to do so.
We try to keep track of communities which currently receive UATV on
local cable. If you are currently receiving UATV, please let us know
so we can keep our list updated!

Direct Satellite
UATV
UATV is an MPEG2DVB digitally encoded Free To Air signal located
on the AMC-8 satellite at 139 degrees west. To receive our satellite
signal, you must have an MPEG2DVB capable receiver, with the appropriate
frequencies entered, connected to a C-Band satellite dish pointed
at AMC-8. If you can already see ARCS or Gavel to Gavel or the PBS
super station, you can receive UATV.
The correct
information to input into your receiver is:
Frequency - 1090.00 (your input may be 01090)
Symbol Rate - 8.1000 (your input may be 8100)
Polarity - Horizontal
FEC Rate - 3/4 (may not appear on your receiver)
