EV> TW> As a side note the old 35MM movie house projectors are about   
   EV> TW> all gone. In fact the movie studios now distributes their   
   EV> TW> features in 35MM. They are distributed in a Digital format and   
   EV> TW> the projectionist is basiclly a computer operator.   
   EV> TW> Some get their features over a highspeed internet connection   
   EV> TW> and others use a Satellite Antenna   
      
   EV>Thanks for the Info.   
      
   EV>From my limited experience with Microwave Radio where I worked, I hope   
   EV>the Satellite frequency they are using is below 10GC/Sec.   
      
   EV>When the Microwave System that had a parabolic (dish) antenna that was   
   EV>around 40 inches in diameter was replaced with higher frequency gear   
   EV>that had a antenna about 10 inches in diameter, every time it rained   
   EV>the system wouldn't work and someone would have to go to the remote   
   EV>site.   
      
   EV>I learned they quit using a Microwave Radio System and used Fiber Optic   
   EV>cable now.   
      
   EV>Maybe ten years or more ago I visited a Projection Booth and saw the   
   EV>Reel the Film was on wasn't on top of the projector.   
      
   EV>The Reels were bigger, 4 foot in diameter I think, and the whole movie   
   EV>was on that one reel and after it ran through the projector it was   
   EV>wound up on a empty reel the same size.   
      
   EV>The other projector had the Previews for other films that would be   
   EV>coming to the theater soon, and of course the Cartoon.
