Analogue Satellite TV Zapping bandscan 1993 Europe 3m polarmount dish (Vintage TV clips test cards) 

Oh, the Wild West days of Satellite TV, where anyone with the knack & a good dish can find anything on the air. 📡

0:43 The good old TCC. That used to be the go to channel for all the kids at the time before CN came along.

Man, if there is one thing I get really nostalgic about is how manual and verbose it was using analog sat tv back in the day. I really miss it compared to how instant and perfect it is nowadays.

back in the day when TV was exciting :) I remember scanning frequencies on Astra and Kopernikus in the early 90s and the test transmissions from the new Astra satellites in the mid 90s

1:45 Based on this part, I know that it was recorded between 5PM and 6PM GMT+1. That's the "Vijf Uur Show" (Five O'clock Show).

So in 1993, the entire European sky was ca. 350 channels that you could surf through in 12 minutes... Not much more that you now get from an average cable provider... I vaguely remember watching analog satellite in friends' houses around that era, as a small child. I don't think anybody had such fancy positioners though - by aligning my memories with the records we have now, I think 19.2E and perhaps 16E or later 13E was everything. As a kid who only had terrestrial TV (2, later 6 channels), I was still mesmerised by the seemingly never ending channel list. I only got my own access to an actual satellite dish in 2018, long after analog is gone. On digital, there are of course thousands of channels, but a much greater percentage is encrypted; among the FTA ones, there's many more throwaway ones, so the number of channels actually worth watching is not much bigger than back then - they are just much harder to find. And a digital "channel encrypted" message is much less fascinating than actually seeing the analog scrambling on screen. So yeah. Thanks for preserving the nostalgia for an era I could not live in full for myself.

4:45 this is a polish station Polsat, it still operates to this day as a not only satellite station but also over the air and cable. They also are it's own satellite provider called Polsat Box (previously Cyfrowy Polsat)

Cool sogar eine Infotafel von RTL2 mit dem Start am 6 März 1993.👍

Wow! What a time capsule! Thanks for sharing!

Nostalgia at its finest back from the mid nineties. Layout and channels exactly how I remember 😍

having satellite tv was what rich people had in the 90s, i remember by aunt who had a nicer house in the forests of norcal had big satellite and tv big screen tva nd walk down living room and we could watch tv shows in the future eastern time

Hey, thanks for uploading this video. It's really fascinating for me to watch.

I was very happy to see this old tv stations.

In Chile (Televisión Nacional de Chile/TVN Chile) Therefore, analog satellite television was still used until 2005. To repeat its signal from Santiago, oh, another city, for example, Arica. (You can still see the Huge C-band antennas)

This is incredible stuff. Almost the same channel line up we had on our Sky box. Also, I remember MTV going mad about that Bowie album. Was this then early Summer ‘93? Thank you so much for sharing.

Nice vintage Analogue Bandscan of Satellite TV :) Thanks for sharing 73!

Nice band scan because memories come up it was a nice time. Mtv, Raiuno, premiere

What a cool tv series, TMNT and Married with children :D .

Brings back memories I had a 90cm Gregorian dish at that time.

Thank you for this very enjoyable upload! I would love to see more programs from your satellite dish if you have them, and the time to upload them, please. Thanks!

This is like real-life "Interdimensional Cable"

I ENJOYED THIS!!!!!!!..,I remember this life.

3:58 SECAM Format and bass boosted

Digital e geçmeden önce uydudan kanal yakalamanın kolay olduğu yıllar. TRT int, TGRT, Kanal 6, Star TV , Show TV, Teleon , HBB , Avrupa ya yayın yaptığımız yıllar (🇹🇷). Şu anda 31.2 derecede Türksat 5A var fakat içinde yayın yok yayın yapsa Almanya dan yine izlenirdi. Tabi video nun çekildiği yıllarda kendi uydumuz yok Avrupa da 5-6 tane uyduya yayın veriyormuşuz. Şimdi Horbird te bile yayınımız yok.

9:26 this was the channel glitch of 1993.

Wow, thank you !

Ah yes, this looks very familiar - at least Astra and Hotbird which we received at home. And even back then some channels had their audio way too loud up to a point it starts to distort. Nice that you also included some radio channels! I also noticed some French-spoken channels were black and white. Those would be in the SECAM format. I guess the VCR couldn't deal with that. I always liked satellite tv because it offered much more than cable tv would - let alone ether tv. It somehow felt like you had access to channels you 'weren't supposed to have' which I very much appreciated. In most European countries, state television was protected at all costs not giving a dime about what the people who funded them actually wanted to see. To finally see some competition for them by channels not bound by politicians or religion was a very welcome relief. Nowadays many commercial stations are just a cynical excuse to show advertising and state tv is often downright propaganda for the powers that be. I wonder how the tv landscape will look like 10 to 20 years from now as we are already full in the streaming era.

I'm so grateful and actually on a binge watch of Astra satellite surfing in the 90s , but was wondering how did people think back in those days to record there channel surfing? We never knew sites like RU-vid to share would ever exist back then to share channel surfing.

2:29 nthats where wii weather was inspired from

These were the days of satellite tv and the American tv Comedies were a lot better than now a days

I miss the old channel zapping with the static between channels and scrambled channels

1:47 woah that 1993 euro hits techno radio over ninja turtles is soo coool maaaan

3:04 Wow i remember this (///) France Telecom Feeds channels and GlobeCast ) :D

11:52 I remember that channel.I’m from Russia

4:48 Duna Televízió The first Hungarian satellite television. On November 1, 1992, the test broadcasts of Duna Television started three hours a day, and then on December 24, at 5 pm, it started its regular broadcast on the Eutelsat II F3 satellite 11,5959 GHz, H.

4:07 Kanal 6 turk 4:25 HBB turk 5:03 TGRT turk 3:28 Shov turk 3:31 Star 1 turk

In the early 1990s I had several receivers but a couple of motorized systems like the pace IRD 9200 with matching dish positioner & a 1.5 meter offset dish in the garden. I used various decoders most pirate. I remember Intelsat & Eutelsat & the various news feeds. I had JVC multistandard TV with various PAL, SECAM NTSC & colour system 4.43 & 5.58 MHz So SECAM & NTSC with Colour & NTSC stable picture.

Excellent 5*

Definitely a lot from Astra. Particularly those Canal+ channels from Spain are a giveaway along with the German channels. Also: Premiere and Teleclub, while using the same Syster encryption as Cinemanía and Documanía did, they never scrambled the audio.

Good idea to tape it. I had EchoStar 5500 with 1.3 motor hh, from Tokio 63 east to Americans 45 west

Good times, these days there are thousands of channels and nothing to watch. I still have my 3.1m /10ft C/Ku dish in the backyard. Still functional. CMT and CNN was on 34.5 or 37.5 deg west, Orion. The French channels M6, TF1, FR2, FR3 and Cinq were on 5 deg west. 1 deg west and 5 deg east had the D2Mac channels from Norway, Sweden and Danmark....Europcrypt decoder was needed and well worth the money. Arabsat on 26 deg east had lots of C-Band channels from the Middle East. 40.5 deg west had South American channels 68,5 deg east PanamSat, one of my favorites, had MTV Asia and lots of Indian channels. 36 deg east had the Russian channels. African channels were on 1 deg west on C band and I think on 12.5 deg west....Tele Sahel. But I am not sure. The standard in Germany was 19.2 deg east and 13 deg east, Astra and Eutelsat (called Hotbird today) respectively.

0:18 o.O

hi ! and thank you very much for that vidéo... I was wondering,: have you got good quality filmnet logo ?(with stéréo sound ) best regards from france .....

I agree 0:04 Doo-too-too 0:07 Doo-too-too

I remember this vfrom 1990.

2:58 shit so creepy

PLEASE WAIT

2:18 Another slightly interesting thing - I think this is a short-lived feed on Eutelsat 13°E that existed in early 1993, to provide the master feed of the German first programme, Das Erste to the public broadcaster in three of the new eastern Länder - MDR. I guess it would have been showing this testcard at that time of evening (17.40) because regional programming went out between around 17.30 and 20.00.

I know it's a different group of satellites than what we have here in North America (C-Band), but how come C-Band satellites were limited to 24 channels per satellite, where as here, you can see channel 54, channel 82, etc.?

Was Sky UK using smart cards in analogue set-top boxes? Or these channels were available for free on any analogue set-top box?

My dad uad a morozized dish and an FTA reciever, i recall a lotnof arabic channels airing above Hungary

some 90's satellite footprint maps added

شكرا جزيلا على هذا الفديو الرائع

1993, when my country split:-(

10:52 Is that a very faint TVE1 Canary Islands feed on 34.5W C Band? Can just make out what looks like the 'TVE' logo in the bottom right.

The OSD looks like the Kathrein branded satellite receiver, I can't remember the model number of this unit, but it looks really similar to it...

Childhood....

6:39 weird sounds 7:04

0:52 Married... With Children is my favorite show and I love Peggy Bundy so much!!! Episode: s2 ep16 Master The Possibilities aired on February 7, 1988 Marié... With Children est mon émission préférée et j'aime tellement Peggy Bundy !! Épisode : s2 ep16 Master The Possibilities diffusé le 7 février 1988

10:25 фрагмент эфира 1 канал Останкино, который транслировался по спутнику, раритетный улов!!! дальше также прием уэит с помехами, видимо на том же спутнике транслировался фид. Интересно, что все в чб - видимо, не было поддержки secam (который тогда юзали Франция, все страны СНГ и некоторое время Балтии, а также соц.блока) в некоторых спутниковых ресиверах?

in English 10:25 piece of live broadcast of Channel 1 Ostankino (Russia) was captured, wonderful! Interesting that everything in this video from Russia and cis is black and white because they broadcast in SECAM, so I guess this satellite receiver could not show colour in that system

0:23 what movie is that and say Go Away Go Away.

In india by the time 1993 upa govt introduced analog tv

7:14 Fréquence Mousquetaires, la radio interne des magasins Intermarché.

Sind das alles verschlüsselte Programme?😮

This is from 1993 not 1992 because Polsat, RTL2 or DSF trasmitted in 1993

half of the stuff shown there was rebroadcasted by romanian cable providers in the 90s, especially the german TV channels and MTV.

2:58 Ngl, that's kinda unsettling

you found italian channels, u found rai 1 and rai 2, they transmitt here in italy and they make rlly good programs

Thank you very much for this Video too! :-) as Teenager i havn't a such Sat-Equiment as you. I've just ku-band reception.;-)

3:13 definitely didn't expect RAI to be there

3:59 What's that nice song in sat e5, channel 81 et 1??? I like that song!!!😁😁😁

2:58 very creepy...

Excellent stuff - what satellite is 10:48 from? I guess one of the Gorizont ones.

2:10 Warum hat Das Erste hier nicht gesendet?

10:26 1 канал Останкино 11:52 1 канал Останкино

7:29 Happy Days lol

10:32 Очень жаль, что цифровщик автора не поддерживает SECAM. Печально видеть ОРТ 1993-го в Ч/Б

these are the times where tve shows up in this video: 3:25 (tve internacional) 3:40 (this one doesn't really count cuz you can't really make out what it is, but at least you can see the name) 10:52 (tve1 Canarias)

I think the Video is from 1993 or 1994. Because the Video content Euronews and ARD from Astra 1B

4:25 RTT

0:08 The censored Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the UK (Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles), due to the UK having fears of Ninjas at the time.

4:27 song or series?

9:57 TV Algeria
