INTERNATIONAL RECEIVE-ONLY EARTH STATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS LISTED ON EACH INDIVIDUAL AUTHORIZATION. 2000 - The hours of operations of this station are not limited. 2200 - These facilities shall be used for the reception of only such programming material that the grantee has been authorized to receive and use by the owner of the programming material. 2464 - The grantee is authorized to add, delete or change channels of program material without further application or notification to the Commission, provided: (a) the carriage of such program material is authorized pursuant to the Commission's rules, regulations and policies governing the terrestrial system(s) used to distribute this material to the end subscribers, and (b) that such earth station operations are consistent with the technical parameters specified in the registration. 2465 - This provision relates to potential interference from terrestrial microwave stations. Operation of the receive- only earth station shall be in accordance with the frequency coordination exhibit accompanying the application. 2510 - Waiver of Section 25.203(e) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations is granted for the beam intersections listed in the application(s) for this facility. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, THE REGISTRATION OF ALL DOMESTIC RECEIVE-ONLY EARTH STATIONS USING ANTENNAS SMALLER THAN 4.5 METERS IN DIAMETER IS ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING PROVISION. 2456 - No protection beyond that afforded in "Deregulation of Domestic Receive-Only Satellite Earth Stations" will be provided for TVRO earth stations. Due to 2 degree orbital spacing, "the potential levels of interference caused by satellite transmissions are already defined and the actual level of any protection desired by an applicant from inter- satellite interference for small receiving earth station antennas will be achieved by the choice of receiving antenna performance selected by parties installing new receive-only earth stations."
