Satellite Information Self Test and Mandatory Testing At any time, you may conduct a self-test to see if your CCN satellite equipment is receiving quality audio and video reception. Follow the instructions below. In the two-week period preceding the event, we'll ask you to participate in a mandatory test. We'll ask you to report your test results to us. We ask you to do this as very soon after the date of the mandatory test, we'll not have time to ship replacement equipment or schedule a service call. We'll let you know the mandatory test schedule by email to your host site coordinator. Satellite Equipment Test Instructions
Time Delay for Pacific and Mountain Time Zones In order to provide a quality program start and end time for the Pacific and Mountain time zones, CCN will air the program on tape delay to Pacific and Mountain time zones. If you are in these time zones, your program will broadcast to you on the Business Television (BTV) channel. Please familiarize yourself with the BTV channel during your test. The channel number will vary depending on the receiver model but usually the BTV channel can be found within a range of several channels, up or down, from the CCN channel. Ordinarily, Laotian programming is aired on the BTV channel so do not be alarmed if you see this while you are visiting the BTV channel. If you have any questions about the time delay or the Business Television Channel, call 1-800-321-6781 and ask for technical support.
More satellite and mandatory test times to come closer to the event.
