To enable easy decoding PIDs should be set as: Video 256, Audio, 257, PMT 32 or 4095, PCR 256 or 258. Service
            Name should be set to CallSign. PMT PIDs 4000 - 4010 should not be used. Users are encouraged to experiment
            with higher-order DVB-S2 modes at lower symbol rates (for example 333 KS 32APSK) to conserve bandwidth for
            other users.

            On Wednesdays (UTC time), experimenters are encouraged to try other modes - perhaps 6 MS using the whole
            transponder for brief (less than 10 minute) periods. It is essential that users to announce their plans on the chat
            room page, and to always monitor it.

             1. the maintenance uplink will only be used very occasionally, but users are requested to give it
             absolute priority when notified.
             2. DVB-S2 users are requested to use the steepest roll-off that their equipment is capable of to
             reduce the possibility of adjacent channel interference.
