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.
CMTV Europe and listening to softcore German porn while the screen looks like a ZX spectrum game loading. Takes me WAY back to the days of Astra. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
But they started scrambling in the summer of 1995 .. Now I see the answer by lbulbu "The decoder was still trying to decode a picture that was not encoded. The result is an encoded image. "
@@peterk3558 right, MTV was scrambling in 1.July 1995. And u see at the beginning Cartoon Network was encrypted but the decoder noticed that Cartoon Network had a free-to-air signal (4 years later Cartoon Network was encrypted in 15.October 1999)
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 RUclips 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!
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!
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.
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.
@@GrumpzTheCat The rough edges are the encryption data. On analogue TV encryption like VideoCrypt, the data was sent in in the video feed during blanking intervals, if I recall correctly.

@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.
Was this on Astra 1b? I remember these not lasting long. Fun fact one of the cable operators in my country illegally added a couple of channels to their channel list.
Rok 1994 to byla ještě nějakým způsobem velmi kvalitní kvalita, kterou budoucí generace už nikdy nepozná, proto první krok je abychom jim ukázaly jakou kvalitu jsme v roce 1994 ve zkutečnosti měli.

Those decoders for Videocrypt didn't do a very good job of making the picture perfect after decoding. The U.S. Videocipher system did a much better job of making the picture come out perfect....none of those decryption artifacts.
the original separate videocrypt decoders tended to suffer image degradation. When I got a new Pace receiver/decoder the quality was much better couldn't really tell the differece from an unencrypted channel.
Note that the red imperfections persist even on channels that weren't being scrambled in the first place. As for the right edge of the screen, I wanna say that's actual data used by the decoder.
The 1990s is the golden age of television broadcasting.

1994. When MTV actually played music.
Isaac yeah, 2pac, digital underground
We used to say they didn't play music back then, too. Funny how that works. :P
no... they hated certain bands.

This is so awesome...!

Is that the Dragon’s Lair cartoon on Cartoon Network?
Yes :)

What's the song at the end (on the MTV channel)?
Never mind, found it

wow what was the alien part that jumps to a martian dress woman falling?
00:43 I realize its a rear loading garbage truck, but why is it being broadcasted?
"Wait now I'm really am all wet.." perfect👌🏾😂
May 7, 1994.
häää?? why was Cartoon Network in 1994 encoded? I think Cartoon Network was free to air across the europe until October 1999!
Tom K it's not scrambled look at the edge on the right :)
Yes eurosport and cartoon network was free
Sind bei den umschaltphasen codierte Programme das sie aus als wenn man verschlüsselte Programme Aufruft 🤗
I bet you were in heaven!
I had a pirated card.
What was the name of the channel with the rainbow umbrella logo?
Sat 1
Country music videos on European Satellite TV? Must be for our U.S. troops stationed there. 📡
That was short lived station called CMT - Country Music Television
This is KU band or C band signal?
was the children channel not free to air on astra? Or do they later scrambled?
They began scrambling it on the 1st of September, 1993.

I think that the used videotape dit not stand the time very well.
Astra had a super strong signal.
the original separate videocrypt decoders tended to suffer image degradation. When I got a new Pace receiver/decoder the quality was much better couldn't really tell the differece from an unencrypted channel.

I keep trying to make stuff similar to this! 😮 Not a joke. Reply on January 6 2019, I am trying to get replies to my comments.
