I guarantee that those war movies were a product of Kim Jong-il's film campaign. Between 1978 and 1986, Kim Jong-il was inspired by foreign films and sought to create a film industry. He ended up kidnapping a South-Korean film director and his wife to direct all of the films produced in NK, most of which were war-movies. It's so fascinating to still see them being broadcasted today. Thanks for showing this to the world, youtube satellite man.

At the same time, I thank the video creator for reminding me of those bad times because I was already starting to forget them. I mean this in a good way! Having lived away from that mess for decades now, it shows just how far behind North Korea is compared to the rest of the world!

I don't think I've ever watched a video about using satellite signals to "spy" on countries not friendly to the US, so the KZbin algorithm has struck me again by suggesting your video. I've subbed to your channel mainly because I want to know more about what you've uncovered in the past and what you continue to uncover in the future

[@youreabigguy]

This is a really awesome find, thank you so much for sharing it!

[@StrangeStanleySQUEAAK]

this is cool! i usually watched north korean TV on third party sites but seeing someone actually go through the process to connect to the satellite is rlly interesting

[@alexlefevre3555]

Wow, this is interesting on so many levels. Your technical acumen and implementation is superb. The NK content is everything I expected it to be. In a vacuum there, this is normalcy. When you only have option A, option A is all that exists.

Thank god for people who find stuff like this! Not easy to do.

[@jacklundgren4308]

Would be a cool video series's idea for disturbing/weird TV channels that you can find with your antenna! Great video :)

[@radio645]

I often monitor Voice of Korea (N. Korea KRE) on shortwave radio (depending on propagation) frequency 13760 English broadcast at 4:00UTC. Most of the broadcasts consist of classical style music, singing with some world news and party reports of production, economy, agriculture etc. pretty boring stuff. Not a lot of anti-American political subjects on their programs, however. Good job on the N. Korean satellite catch. The SW radio broadcasts don't sound as weird as their TV programing appears to be.

Its hilariously ironic the national anthem of NK is being played by the USAF band. LOL!

[@GokantheHusky]

If I remember correctly the music playing during the morning before broadcasting is played by Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble. A North Korean electronic instrument band. Not gonna lie they do make some pretty good music. Edit: I was wrong. They aren't a band they are an orchestra. But regardless they still make some decent music.

[@sellacct66-c5c]

Those North Koreans jumping up and down and cheering reminded me of those SpaceX yo-yo’s during launches.

North Korea has lot of tvs despite their economic development, they're on par with Bangladesh In development but have more education and welfare and labour rights, they need to do make these quality of life concessions otherwise people could revolt, meanwhile in Bangladesh they don't need to because the state there has sufficient backing
