Does that give up-to-the-minute headlines of what's going on in the world of chewing gum?

There used to be a section on UKGold's text service called "In Orbit", which discussed satellite TV matters

Ben, Orbit News broadcasts on the Orbit package out of EuroBird 2 on 25.5E. However, the beam is targeted on the Eastern Med, Middle East and North Africa, making UK reception impossible.

Orbit News as a channel only broadcasts American news programmes, and probably doesn't have the relevant rights outside of the main target area anyway. That's not to say another broadcaster in the UK and Ireland couldn't provide the same kind of service, but we will not see it from Orbit News.

LOL - that's what I thought this thread must be about when I saw the title! Laughing I'm glad I'm not the only one who still remembers "In Orbit".

Shocked I'm pretty certain your comment bears absolutely no relation to mine whatsoever!
