>There were also some attempts to distribute programs over the radio.
There has also been programs transmitted via TV, both terrestial and
satellite. The German TV show ComputerClub on WDR started it, and then
later a commercial company called Channel Videodat formed, transmitting
over another German channel. They had a fixed schedule, and transmitted
programs, news, and "online" magazines via satellite.
The problem was that since we lived in Sweden, we needed to get it via
satellite, and that wasn't as reliable as one would've hoped, so we
didn't always get the programs we set it to receive.
(This is a bit off-topic, since they didn't transmit C64 programs, they
*did* however, at a time, transmit Amiga programs, but later went PC
only).
