He was the one in the start

My dad was in here

I was a satellite kid. Loud as shit changing E-3 to C-7.....my dad coming down the hall telling me to leave it on one....The 1980s

Good ❤❤❤

I installed and serviced C and Ku Satellite systems for 15 years. it took a few years to totally, understand, build and programing the systems. It was so satisfying to build and program the reciecvers,with crystal clear pictures. I had all the kids with mine everyday watching programs like they have never seen before. All the television stations used them, but I found the feeds without commercials. So, they got to watch what goes on while everyone else watches commercials. it was the best education about science and space for me and mine. I miss my 10 ft Channel master, with Monterey 90 with a supertuner, and a chipped board. Also miss the about 30 SATELLITES and each has appro,32 channels endless information. We had some interesting customers, and most corner bars had one usually on their roof. I have a photo album of the crazy shit I did, with pleasure. I really miss all of it. If I could have one here I would, but I'll have to wait a few.

hole in the front bumper is the crank hole….

Frem regular cable to watching a cban satellite 📡 for the 1st time in the 80's it was like going to the future to now watching direc tv

2:30 1975 INDIA WAS 1ST TO RECEIVE SATELLITE TV SIGNAL For Private Individuals 2:55 1975 Dec received India television signal in England 3:35 AIR AIR INDIA RADIO TV FROM INDIA

When they scrambled the signals...had to get a box...that eas the beginning of the end 😮...they ruined a good service....I remember in the 1980and 90s it was great...but it was no good after....than U started to only get garbage 🗑️...ilike Main Street TV and some other stuff that was not worth anything...HBO and the other ones should been allowed to scamble the signal then the networks did the same thing like NBC...it was a sad thing...the box was always screwing up 😮

thanks for this clip!..very nice!...have a nice 204 and all best wishes to all sat and retro freaks around the world..! your krautrockt!er..🙂

Thats so 90s.

All it takes to "win" the nobel piece prys is win any election for anything with a D for *umbas* next to your name...

My parents had a satellite dish with a descrambler (bootlegged satellite). They've maintained some formed of bootlegged satellite/digital streaming for nearly 40 years now. Today there are "Chinese boxes" that are no different from the descrambler set ups. There will always be a "bootlegged" version of any movie/event viewing service .

My dad put one of them up in the 80s I loved it. We used it til the late 90s til they knocked them out every time you got it going. I mean we never payed for channels we knew a guy lol. You could still watch the streamers of new tv episodes a week before everyone else without the decipher box.

Some local building codes were not friendly to dishes.

7 08 the DIY GUY is epic shouldve followed furrtek and the software hardware path e

The host looks like that popular actor

He discovered in 1945 im so uncultured was the USA like in country in war then?? I wonder how the vibe there was any archive footage

This makes me cry I pass this every day on way to school on the bus

I miss reedsville Ohio grew up living there with my granny god rest her sole my unkel still lives there he sales wood and got a camp ground there

The memories of watching C-Band satellite at my Grandma's House in the 90's as a kid.

Rural America?.. There is no more...!

You are telling wrong brother, you are hurting religious sentiments of HINDU because In India's gossip story "Mahabharata", Sanjay had invented color television infinite years ago.😂😂😂 Foreigners have copied from Mahabharata's television theory....🤣🤣🤣 गलत बता रहे हो भैय्या, धार्मिक भावनाएं आहत कर रहे हो क्योंकि भारत के गपोड़ कथा "महाभारत" में संजय ने रंगी टेलीविजन का अविष्कार अनंत वर्ष पूर्व ही कर दिया था😂😂😂 महाभारत की टेलीविजन थ्योरी से ही विदेश वाले कॉपी किए हुए हैं....🤣🤣🤣

This video was cool but the comments are incredible!! Love hearing the first hand accounts of what people liked to watch and what it was like having one of these in the 80s!!

I'd like to learn more about what I need to get, where to get and how to hook it up.

The focal point is 2d in lense type old type

Creen que la tierra es redonda y existen los satelites 😂😂😂 los reto a hallar la foto de un satelite real no animado

It's funny how the older generations pronounce the word programs They say progrums

I had 2 neighbors many years ago who had those large satellite TV dishes in their backyards. I visited the one across the street & the guy who lived there shown us how he gets all kinds of programs, even from foreign sources. Sadly, he passed away in 1986 & his family had the dish dismantled before putting his house for sale, 2 years later the other neighbor tore his dish down before he & his family moved away.

David, This was fun to watch. How far we've come!!

I would like to experiment with Satellite TV as well as Encryption

Excellent video.

i didnt know satellite went back to the 80s. i seem to remember it being this crazy new thing in 99, but i was very little so thats probably why. i dont miss the issues satellite tv had, but i sure do miss tv being the way it used to be. now a days pretty much every show or documentary is garbage.

🙂

Who remembers ONTV cable back in the 80s I was ten in 1980 Miss the 80s 80s rule man

I can still remember the early 1990s. The Deutsche Bundespost had launched a satellite for TV transmission. The disappointment was great when it was discovered in orbit that the securing clip for the solar cells had been forgotten to be removed and the satellite thus floated in orbit with the solar cells closed. Then a telephone satellite was converted into TV satellite. Only 5 TV programs were possible and the frequency band was split so that two LNB receivers had to be used. The oscillator frequency of the upper LNB was exactly the frequency of one of the lower TV programs so that it could not be received. Therefore it had to be replaced with another oscillator LNB. The Bundespost still sent up the reserve satellite, but the designated position was already occupied by the telephone-TV satellite, so the reserve was moved to a different position. Later the satellite disappeared from there, a control error. The Australians then spotted him and radioed him, and he was slowly pushed back into position... There were attempts with the analog HD standard, but hardly anyone had receivers for it... Later it was changed back to PAL... The French broadcast in SECAM, good that the TV switched the color standard...

Now you can get yourself a satellite 🛰 📡 kit that can fit in a suitcase 🧳 I got one with the satellite finder in the lnb which we use for Camping holidays.

And now, we use it for internet.. and it's getting better.

I just picked up a special box that allows 2 lines in set on of them to 103.7 west and the other to 70.0west and have a flash drive with unlock keys on it and route qn internet connection to thw box and it decodes the signal . 305 channel for free maybe its piracy maybe not but the signal is bombarded to earth i just decided to channel it into my tv.

Actually very close friends with the inventor of the black box back in the '80s was a way to pirate hbo

Is this when Al Gore invented the internet? 😂

Back in the 80s and 90s my grandpa had his C band satellite running strong and I used to love watching NASCAR races with him on the feeds, actually I enjoyed watching anything with grandpa. It was so cool/funny to listen to this commentators BS’n during commercial breaks about anything, you got the inside scoop right then and there. It’s still hooked up and but nobody watches it anymore, ever since I installed Dish Netwerk over two decades ago the C-band antenna became a expensive birdhouse. Does anybody else remember having to waiting for the dish to slowly turn to engage the next satellite? I swear sometimes that took forever! I could microwave a bag of popcorn before it was done, it wasn’t quite that slow😁

I hope they mention HBO Kid. I was Atari kid back then setting up reel to reel video recorders helping folks record soap operas. And using uhf antenna wire and two pieces of tin foil wrapped around wire to unscramble pay TV.

Satellites invented by a science fiction author lol

My friend had a satelite in the late 80s. We thought it was so cool seeing xxx channels at 12 years old. Lol

The "free flow" of propaganda, mistakes were made.

A couple of my uncles had these. Amazing tech when the dish used to move in order to find a satellite for another region. Great memories.

Analog 😌

i started with c-band installations ,then primestar , sky, then directv and dish network ,then time warner now spectrum, still connecting people together so many years has gone by and still love the hell out of it ....it runs thru my blood ,can't see myself doing anything different .......man i miss my c-band with ku band,,,,,................

Meanwhile in the UK, satellite TV maybe under threat. Sky, pretty much the only provider of satellite TV in the UK, has launched a version of their Sky Q service that is entirely dependent on broadband. I can't imagine that Sky (formerly owned by Rupert Murdoch and now owned by Comcast) will maintain their satellite TV service for much longer. This also puts Freesat under threat and the frequencies used for Freeview, our digital terrestrial TV service are more and more progressively being given over to 5G mobile services, so that is also under threat. It may well be that our TV services will become entirely internet dependent and thus open to government censorship.
