Yes, the record head sits on the disc surface, lubed by a small drop of
silicon grease...

 Hi.  Now there is also head cleaner.  Although the lens doesn't not
touch the MD,
 doesn't the head actually make contact?

Yes, and the head cleaners apparently are just soft, non-abrasive lubricators.
I've seen people say that they're as damaging to the record head as lens
cleaners are to the lens, but perhaps they were just confusing the two.

Do any of the MD manufacturers have anything to say about the use of head and/or
lens cleaners? Do they recommend them or not?

I'm not sure whether by "MD manufacturers" James meant hardware or disc
manufacturers.  Since Maxell and TDK makes such cleaners, at least two disc
makers must recommend them.

Hardware manuals never even mention the things as far as I know.

I was actually asking about the recommendations of hardware manufacturers.
Sorry for the confusion. No surprise that the makers of the cleaners recommend
them.  :)

MD: satellite and radio shows

2000-12-03 Thread Brent Harding


I might be getting a new satellite receiver soon, currently 
using a c
band system with a really old receiver, and I want radio shows now, as my
net connection only gives me 28.8 on a 56k modem, and AM never sounded half
decent to record anyways. What kind of features does the receiver need to
get popular radio shows, I'm especially interested in talk radio, one
coming to mind was on transponder 14 channel 23, no satellite given. What
do I need to get channels designated this way? I learn a lot from the
credits and using the search engines to find what network carries the
programming, but what is needed, I'm not sure of.
