  • This is when I got my first videocrypt smart card. I was able to decode all the B-Sky channels at that time.
    It was great!

    When MTV was worth watching. My fave really was the Childrens Channel as it usually shut the kids up for long time. I loved it all as I could learn diferent languages watching RTL4 and Sat1.

    To find out if the channel was encoded, look closely at the right edge of the picture. If you do see a nice edge, the picture is not encoded. That was the case with MTV and Cartoon network. QVC,TV Asia,Nickelodeon, The children channel,UK living was encoded. When I went back to the MTV channel, It looked like it was encoded but it was not. The decoder was still trying to decode a picture that was not encoded. The result is an encoded image. It goes back to normal after few seconds..

      Hey mate, do you have some scrambled in Nagravision Syster recordings? I'm browsing TH-cam for them. I need them to decrypt and to improove open source video filter - software scrambler named CryptImage. And if you have videocrypt recordings that you wanna decrypt send me some samples!

    • @Zcooger

      The reason a decoder was still trying to decode FTA channel was the long interval for sending videocrypt info for the decoder in the teletext and it was about 2,5 seconds.

      @@robertpreece7259 Encryption wasn't just used to lock down pay tv, it was used to stop outsiders from the region they wanted it to be broadcasted to viewing it. This was especially so back then but it's still in use today although not as much now most satellites have both a general purpose beam covering a continent, and focused beams covering specific countries and regions. Astra has a great footprint app on their website that explains what each satellite is built for, and what each footprint generally carries, like satellite internet, general communications, commercial TV, uplinks, etc, and the likes of LyngSat still has a couple users who scan and contribute findings when they see new encrypted, decrypted, test, uplink and general purpose band stuff all over the world
      In a world where cable TV choice is in decline thanks to generally less TV channels now streaming platforms are here to stay, Satellite proves to be an incredibly useful source if you like seeing what's on offer and want to have that choice back again, especially if you have a motorised dish!

      @Andy Fennell RTL is a german tv channel that used to air all sorts of stuff from children cartoons on Saturday mornings (it switched to KRTL at that time) , talk shows, news, movies, tv series (Alarm fur Kobra 11 sounds familiar?). I used to watch Quincy MD, Miami Vice and Magnum PI back then late at night. RTL2 showed lots of Anime series in the early 90 to early 00s - from 12pm to 4pm. A lot of tv series aswell. I remember watching Wonder Years, The Incredible Hulk, Knight Rider, 6 Billion Dollar man, Bionic Woman,.... Nowadays both of these channels show lots of reality horse shit. It's kinda sad actually. Would have loved it if they repeated the classic shows from the 70s,80s and 90s.

    Why do some of the channels (eg the one at 1:48) still have rough edges in the overscan area after descrambling, but Cartoon Network immediately after it doesn't? Not that it would matter on an overscanning CRT in the 1990s, but it's odd.

    • @GrumpzTheCat
      @GrumpzTheCat 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know im late, but that is because the channel you were talking about was encoded, but Cartoon Network wasn't, but the decoder was still trying to decode it, making it look like it was scrambled. The scrambled channels have those rough edges for some reason, but non encoded ones dont.

    • @xXBeefyDjXx
