TV station ET

"European funding has now been agreed to start designing the world's largest
telescope. The "Square Kilometre Array" (SKA) will be an international radio
telescope with a collecting area of one million square metres -- equivalent
to about 200 football pitches -- making SKA 200 times bigger than the
University of Manchester's Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank and so the
largest radio telescope ever constructed. Such a telescope would be so
sensitive that it could detect TV Broadcasts coming from the nearest stars.
"


Did ET ever do sitcoms? Was there ever an ET Hollywood? Was there ever ET
broadcast news from "around the globe?"

Will I need a set-top box ? Is it "pay per view" ?

A somewhat larger version of the 4 hectare array that discovered
pulsars. Step changes in aerial size have usually found important new
discoveries - lets hope the heuristic holds this time.

Definitely. Do you think any sensible civilisation would use NTSC?

The Intergalactic Bank accepts all major credit cards...
