excellent days of quality tv viewing .... now we have 1000 of channels and nothing to watch...in the 90s there was 30 good ones everyone in europe wanted to have !!! ..
1:33 Mr. Vain .... Yeah!!! ;) 2:37 RTL Samstag Nacht ... Großartig!!! 2:45 Die guten alten Schmuddelfilmchen in SAT.1 :) 2:50 Mike Hammer ... tolle Krimiserie (Pro7)
I remember back in the early 90s one of our cable providers used to show some of these channels( Filmnet, Sky 1, Sky Movies...) ilegally on their network good old times
Great TV surf of the good old analogue Astra Times! A pity that the receiver switched to Bluescreen on RTL4 it had a seldom scrambling, also FilmNet. Also Spanisch TV stations were on air this time: MiniMax, Cinemaina, Documania etc. For more than 10 years the completeley turned to DVB-S transmission. BTW: The German Free TV stations (e.g. Sat1, Pro7, ARD, ZDF, n-tv and others) are still on air now via analogue Astra tx. And 2 English speaking Px: CNN and Eurosport :-)
Dokładnie. Nie ma to jak stara dobra satelitarna telewizja analogowa. Raptem kilkadziesiąt kanałów, ale treściwych. I fajnie się wyszukiwało te transpondery na starych Pace'ach. Astra to było to! Mimo braku polskich i polskojęzycznych kanałów, to się godzinami wpatrywało i wsłuchiwało w stare dobre MTV, Eurosport czy DSF.
The 2 mtvs scenario... was quite bizarre - one ended up being vh-1 (22 only after they encrypted mtv) Also funny was tv asia doing the blocked card thing and being viewable for 2 secs. JSTV always used to come up with incorrect card due to being VC II(was one time where top half was clear and bottom encrypted)
half of the video is just the spanish MiniMax channel ;) i remember that one too. It broadcasted in the clear only outside the normal broadcast times to bring previews for the various series. During normal broadcasting hours, it was scrambled in nagravision (also used by the german Premiere and swiss Teleclub channels), even the audio was scrambled (like the other 3 spanish channels on Astra analogue).
Masz rację. Zresztą w 1994 na orbicie już działała Astra 1D, gdzie na którymś z transponderów uruchomiono VH-1. Ale i tak się fajnie wspomina, zwłaszcza MTV...miałeś jeden kanał w pigułce (rock, metal, rap, pop, techno, eurodance). Dzisiaj z 10 kanałów sygnowanych logo zakichanej korporacji, a na nich sam brud i chłam... Pozdrawia rocznik 1981.
Stupid question... Did every decoder have a different channel layout? I ask because I remember a few channels being in different places. 12 - CNN 13 - RTL4 22 - TeleClub 23 - UK Gold 24 - MTV Europe 29 - N-TV And I'm sure the Astrs promo video was in the 30s. A great video! I would have been 17 when this was recorded, and would spend entire evenings just zapping around. Thank you for reminding me of the good old days of Sky.
How many channels did they have and was this on more then one satellite? I thought sats had 24 transponders (or 32) the encryption almost looks like Leech!
Back then day Where sky viewing was so easy.... Without a SKY Q And Paired Cards. My Card is almost Useless. And Runns until 2028. Music on UK Gold, today "Gold" Shows just some silly comedy. and Today is TNT just A Sports Provider. And i Missing this old times so much.
Got replaced by Nickelodeon Spain I think. They had a Nickelodeon strand on Minimax for a while before Canal Satelite went digital in the late 90s. Then I think shortly afterwards Minimax closed. Minimax still broadcasts to Poland and Hungary AFAIK.
Can I ask why... some of the channels dont have logos? their is no search-and-scan banner? half the channels are german (and they ALL have logos, even the analogue terrestrials)?

miW
MTV used to be one of my best channels back then.
I remember back in the early 90s one of our cable providers used to show some of these channels( Filmnet, Sky 1, Sky Movies...) ilegally on their network
good old times
Back when MTV actually played music....
“Music”
1:33

I miss these days!
Good old times!
fajnie ze mozna tu obejrzec takie filmiki przypominaja sie dawne czasy.
Dokładnie. Nie ma to jak stara dobra satelitarna telewizja analogowa. Raptem kilkadziesiąt kanałów, ale treściwych. I fajnie się wyszukiwało te transpondery na starych Pace'ach. Astra to było to!

Encrypted shopping channel (QVC UK) .. that was something unusual even in 1994 ;)
this was great and I miss these days
Seriously, some erotica film on SAT.1 at 2:45 is just some lucky viewing without being encrypted, LOL! 😂
I like Minimax from spain from 1994.
I have a channel surf video in my loft somewhere. It was from telewest, about 1998.
half of the video is just the spanish MiniMax channel ;) i remember that one too. It broadcasted in the clear only outside the normal broadcast times to bring previews for the various series. During normal broadcasting hours, it was scrambled in nagravision (also used by the german Premiere and swiss Teleclub channels), even the audio was scrambled (like the other 3 spanish channels on Astra analogue).
QVC was scrambled in Videocrypt soft -- it didn't require subscription and any decoder (even without smartcard) could decode it.
I miss all the foreign channels
Pity you didn't leave Sat.1 on for a bit longer
Wow thats real interesting from the year I was born :)
Those were the days!
0:01 Where can I find this commercial?
0:30/2:03 What's the film's name?
2:57 What's the match? Where can I find this?
3:09 What is this?
@tripleseis81 Not anymore, Minimax had finished broadcasting circa 2006... then Nickelodeon entered the market. /Poland
MTV!!! YES!!!
Old good MTV! One music channel, all good music. Today is not MTV...today is a dirt.
Ah the good old days of when you could decrypt the channels with an Amiga 500
To nie jest 1994, może 1993, w 1994 roku MTV europe miało całe białe, nowe logo.

W zasadzie to wtedy też był chłam.
Stupid question...

I ask because I remember a few channels being in different places.
12 - CNN
13 - RTL4
22 - TeleClub
23 - UK Gold
24 - MTV Europe
29 - N-TV
And I'm sure the Astrs promo video was in the 30s.
A great video! I would have been 17 when this was recorded, and would spend entire evenings just zapping around. Thank you for reminding me of the good old days of Sky.
You could position the channels however you wanted to.
Didn't they go FTA in the end? I remember them being encrypted initially but I think they went clear after a few years. I maybe wrong though.
@2.45 - No 27 SAT1. Why did the channel surfing continue?!!
yeah! inspector gadget!! :D
What encryption did they use? In spain on analog terrestial tv we used Nagra 1, and in Canal Satelite i think it was Seca 2 (Mediaguard 1)
when delay in picture ocours, are those channels scrambled?
Yes.
How many channels did they have and was this on more then one satellite? I thought sats had 24 transponders (or 32) the encryption almost looks like Leech!
The encryption on channels 34, 35 and 45 was similar. Most of the other scrambled channels used the Videocrypt system.
Back then day Where sky viewing was so easy.... Without a SKY Q And Paired Cards. My Card is almost Useless. And Runns until 2028.
Music on UK Gold, today "Gold" Shows just some silly comedy. and Today is TNT just A Sports Provider.
And i Missing this old times so much.
back in analogue days you could put what channel you wanted on what number
Got replaced by Nickelodeon Spain I think. They had a Nickelodeon strand on Minimax for a while before Canal Satelite went digital in the late 90s. Then I think shortly afterwards Minimax closed. Minimax still broadcasts to Poland and Hungary AFAIK.
Awesome quality. Did you record it on SVHS?
Haha this was my 3rd birthday!!
Sky Channels @ Astra1? Weird i think is Astra2 28.5
Minimax changed to nick Spain in 1999
Can I ask why...
some of the channels dont have logos?
their is no search-and-scan banner?
half the channels are german (and they ALL have logos, even the analogue terrestrials)?
It is curious that ALL the german channels (every last one of them has a logo) here though
1:55 is japanese? or korean?
Dávid Halász Japanese. It was JSTV I believe.
Which were the channels up to c. 0:50?
Ah ok , sorry about this error :(
