Try watching channel 5990 (Echo11-TP 12516). You may have to scan it in if you haven't scanned in a while.
It's a cool view of the Earth from the Echo10/11 satellite. The image refreshes every 15 seconds and you can see weather (tropical storm right now off the Baja coast in the Pacific)...and also watch it get darker/lighter. Of course it shows just the North/South Americas as it's in the 110 Longitude and the Equator orbit (static)... all this with nice soft instrumental music in the background.... talk about unwinding at night... I can even use it as a clock (sundial) lol. :sleep1:
