Um not quite. The interstellar scintillation will "strip" off the modulation and leave only the narrowband carrier without any information. This is why most SETI searches look for that narrowband carrier.

That's what I get for trying to be sarcastic on a propeller-head thread :) I fugured I'd be mocked and teased, but graded?! Guess that's what makes FR so blasted interesting!

Huh? Television is AM, so I agree that the information content is in the sidebands. First off what is interstellar scintillation, and second how can it demodulate a signal?
