My parents had C-Band from 1995-2000. I remember being a kid and just surfing the wild feeds because who knew what you’d get! Eventually, I found rhyme and reason to them and used my knowledge of the schedules to watch new episodes of Pokemon Pokemon hours earlier than I’d get them on the local affiliate.
I had an 85cm dish on a tripod in my backyard with a Humax receiver, the dish didn't have a motor so it would require manual tuning but I recall picking up some interesting channels from the middle east and alot of kids shows in languages I couldn't understand. It was fun!
The second part of this video is footage from the French Canadian version of The Weather Network (known as MétéoMédia). The blank parts that come up are meant for the local cable operators to insert the local forecast graphics/messages in, similar to what The Weather Channel does down here (the technology originally came from TWC until they developed their own computer systems). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weather_Network
Mirko Mazzoni - Not uncommon for raw feeds for live programs to come through a backhaul feed. They more often than not will start well before the actual program does, as the presenter is getting ready.
Matthew Keys There was a very small section of material that triggered a copyright-searching bot and the station who produced the content in that particular part apparently didn’t like it, so naturally TH-cam had to take the whole thing down. 😒

"stand by, 30 seconds" ... ... ... "You got 4 minutes"
I love how he spends the four minutes slapping the table and joking with the crew.
This is what Wild Feeds were best for.
Do you have any more C-band videos like this?
he was probably going to be on for 10 seconds and read one sentence.
Hahahaahhahahahahah! The presenter is not ready (it's shown at the begninning)

uh no, presenter at the start was likely in position doing a rehearsal.
i dont know how to spell it but also in the beginning he says "im surprised" in japanese`
They probably do, but I'm not sure if it's in the same easily-accessible capacity that good old analog C-Band was.
do you know where the cool stuff is at in these videos?
What happened to Part 4?

@@HIdeyourhearts Aww. You could have fought that under fair use!
@@HIdeyourhearts Maybe upload it to Archive dot org?
@@plushifoxed Good idea!
@@HIdeyourhearts you could also try reuploading it to TH-cam with the copyrighted part removed.
I'm guessing this was for the NHK?
Wouldn't surprise me if NHK had/has a bureau in Washington for this sort of thing.
Christopher Sobieniak they do, and in nyc too.but so does fuji and TBS (Tokyo Brocast Systems)
@signoff12 Other than the first four parts I posted, sadly, no. I wish I did. I eat this stuff up!
Sorry the Copyright Police shut down part 4 of your C-Band video.
