Brings back memories. At one point, we had five satellite antennas on our house. We enjoyed exploring the (actual) FTA international channels. These days we have fiber optic 1.5Gbps internet...
As a satellite enthusiast and a ham radio operator, i`m in love with this content. Too bad i found your channel so late. Greetings from Turkey/Istanbul.
I want to get into ham radio, just exploring different areas and hearing individual’s broadcasts, but It’s very intimidating. I’m not a maths guy, I just like to channel surf.
They were the main UK public channels that were encrypted (BBC One, Two, ITV, Channel 4/5). I believe they were carried on 27.5W as a back up for digital terrestrial TV over here and could be opened with a BISS key. Seems to be very easy to find online too!
just like your spectrum analyser: it just works. satellite tv is still a thing, and it is surprising for some how much (religious) agit-prop and moderate messaging is shared over satellites. well done!
Back around 2005 I stayed at a small town motel along the TransCanada in Saskatchewan. The motel had pirated satellite but the owner I think was religious because he only pirated two channels and one was a southern evangelical tv station. The other, from the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out, was a fifteen minute loop of three minute shorts of ballet, classical music, opera, theatre and one repeating scene from the movie Black Narcissus (where the mad woman falls from the bell tower cliff). I had insomnia and ended up staring at this channel over and over again while the other channels signed off for the night. Nearly 20 years later I still wonder what that channel was.
its impresive you can get those signals in the ku band with such focal antenna. I get that with a medium signal with an offset antenna around here. I used to have 1.2diameter offset antenna and captured a few spanish football feeds from la liga with no commercials and ads.thats was really nice. I have never been able to capture intelsat 14 since the footprint doesn't reach where i am now.
I miss the old C Band days. I'll always remember the news cast feed from Japan where a beautiful Japanese woman would fix her makeup during commercial breaks. And then she picked her nose! lol
I used to go over to my brother in laws house when he went out of town. My blind friend and I started scanning sub carriers on the C band using a short wave radio and also my long wave receiver that was used in the military we picked up music stations, radio feeds, sports feeds, and even telephone calls one sided. Mainly sound, Those were the days. 73
you can tune in to satellite ISP data channels, sniff the data transmitted to users, and see all kinds of stuff in the old days before fast internet. we used to tune in to these channels and some people would download big files ( movies ) and everyone sniffing it would get a copy I filled a hard disk with movies that way
I set up a 12' dish out at the family farm many (35?) years ago and had a blast on weekends playing with it, getting direct feeds from baseball and NFL games (broadcasters talking crap during breaks), and all kinds of wild feeds. I guess they caught on to that pretty fast and most signals got scrambled, eventually... My mom got sick of looking at the dish at some point and had somebody come chop it down for recycling. I still have the receiver, somewhere.
26:18 A3 Internacional (Real name: Antena 3 Internacional) and the next two channels called Hola TV and A3 Series are Spanish (talking about they are from Spain, not the language) are channels that normally are encrypted. How your receiver could decode them?
For 37 years, Now retired 3 Years ago. I used to install MUZAK Now Moodmedia Antennas. All the DBS Stuff has been turned off and the Satellites have fallen out of orbit LOL...The are slowly phasing out Satellite all together and the Music will be downloaded via the internet.. back in the 80's I used to sit at the Shop watching News Truck uplinks, Ford Dealer technical training videos. all kinds of great stuff. Some of which I recorded..
Awesome video Peter, man I look forward to your stuff, but man I cant wait to make a call to your VOIP phones.... hold up for my voicemail hahahah... 😀
Where to purchase a system for short money? And what about other television standards I think that the foreign ones are (or were!) PAL and SECAM or some such. MANY years ago, I set up my late Dad with a C-Band system, circa 1976. It took me months to put it together, and I had to fabricate some of the parts, both for the motor and as I recall, for horizontal vs vertical (or right hand vs left hand polarization. Every time I worked on it, I hit another problem, and more cost, ouch, even though I was doing it all myself...So many years ago I can't recall) The receiver as a recall was a "Chaparral?" System. I was a Vocational Electronics student in High School. I also set up a shortwave radio connected to remote speakers for reception primarily of the BBC World Service. He really enjoyed that, as he listened to that aboard ship during the war. As we lived in Sandusky, Ohio, our terrestrial reception was exceptional, both TV and FM. So we got Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Windsor and a few Canadian UHF stations and FM from the Chatham and Essex County area. CHYR was one of them. CBC and GlobalTV as well. We had a 50 foot tower with a rotor and a "Channel Master" deep fringe antenna. Nothing was encrypted as far as I can recall on the "C" band then. There were a lot of remote news hookups on the fly, I think people called them "wild feeds." I also vaguely recall a lot of radio feeds like CBC1 via the "Anik?" Satellite? Anyway, this looks like a lot of fun, and I'd like to have a go at it if it isn't too expensive! It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do on the technology, but that's the fun, eh?

Okay, i need this automatedrobobitch antenna! Thats really awesome! From EU, satellite stuff are really far, at least i never heard any pirates and never really had success, only the ISS with my RTL SDR, but for some reason, only from Phone (SDR++)... :/ But what you did in your videos is pretty cool! :)
I used to see lots of back haul in the clear signals and the C-band European countries get a lot of channels in the clear. But the networks have their countries programming I watched the shows that they watched.
Europe only use KU Band. The Russians use both C and KU Band, C Band is circular polarized, the signal covers Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe but Eastern Europe is at limit and you need a larger dish, 150 cm for KU Band and 240 cm or larger for C Band the elevation is very low. Also Pakistan broadcast in C Band but you need a 400 cm dish for stable reception.
This reminds of watching tv on my dad’s arabic android tv box 10 years ago. It also had some bollywood channels which are nice background noise to put on at 3am.
What kind of antenna is that first dish you showed? Like brand, model etc. Great content btw, really really interesting! (EDIT)-> And what do you think would be the best resource online for someone wanting to learn how to receive satellite signals (tv etc) in this day and age? Any ideas? I have a v8 finder but not a dish yet. Looking forward to getting into the hobby.
haven't tried to venture to hispasat in decades... btw where are you located, in europe? since ~2005 i had a rotor with a plain normal triax dish and with a dreambox was getting a ton of stuff from 49E to 30W . at the time all SKY was available via card sharing. sky UK, sky IT, and those spanish channels on 30W... later even installed skystar card to record directly to PC. ah, good old times.
Are wild feeds still a thing? I remember picking them up like 20 years ago when they were still sent analog. Also, what firmware would you recommend for the v8x for us in North America? Thank you for the video! I still have a 1m ku dish and this made me grab a new box and lnb.
It's a channel editor provided by the manufacture of the receiver. I'm using a GTmedia V8X model. Here is the link to the GTmedia channel editor tool www.freesat.cn/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10965 You can find the Muzak APID's here: www.lyngsat.com/SES-3.html
You guys don't use low band ku from 10.7 to 11.7 GHz there? In Europe we use universal LNBs with two LOs 9750 and 10600 for 10.7 to 11.7 and 11.7 to 12.75 respectively
Dishes in the UK are twice as small. But sadly being phased out for IPTV alternative, paid legal. BSkyB. Would love to see you try and pick up some Sky TV over the UK. 😂 Astra 2 satellite fleet located 28.2 - 28.5 degrees east above the Equator, probably wrong but I think it is.
location in space is one thing, but beam is another. Astra2 points at europe+UK, so you'd need an absolutely gigantic satellite to pickup anything. Might get lucky with a sidelobe or something, but still toooooo far for north america.
You have to have Decoders now to get everything...it is a lot to buy...now .. when you do satellite 📡 dishes. . I can't do it... because no antenna 📡 s are aloud in my complex.... House Rules 😮......you are lucky to have a yard for those dishes 📡😊
Great video.....When you insert the channels how do you know they exist on that transponder so you can create a bin file? Is it published somewhere? With respect to McD, Food lion, etc, I bet they have licensing agreements to play the music at all their franchises and stores. All these places have satellite dishes on them and rather than face suit for using on-air music, they use these services where the licensing is already taken care of for a flat monthly fee. Quality Dan's comment below is pretty interesting..... one more thing, is the polarization left or right handed?
No not at all, however some of the original spectrum was recently reassigned by the FCC and auctioned off to the cell phone carriers for 5G. The original satellite C-band was from 3.6 GHz to 4.2 GHz. Now it is from 4 GHz to 4.2 GHz. The response by the satellite industry was to just launch more satellites into unused & available orbital slots to increase their capacity with the smaller amount of licensed bandwidth.
It uses an onboard 3 axis navigation computer with a GPS reference. From there is can determine its location on Earth. It then calculates what satellites are receivable from its location horizon-to-horizon. When instructed by the operator it then scans looking for the satellites signals. Once it gains signal acquisition lock it will precisely tune and peek the signal. It will continually monitor the signal and make adjustments as needed.
Based on another video I watched, I think the reason why the channels were encrypted was because they were intended for a satellite backup feed service that I think is called BBC Satback.
Wish I had the room for a setup like yours. I'd have plenty of dishes in my yard and an entertainment center with many receivers for plenty to watch and listen to. I wish that Muzak was portable.
I used to have a C Band dish back in the 1980s and 1990s in California...i used to watch the world 🌎 with it....i have watched tv from Canada and Europe...than they made a real mess when they scrambled the channels...then had to get a decorder...it was was worse we the decorder would have to be fixed....then the satellite providers came...they want people to play for the stations even if we didn't use their service....they the whole satellite TV dish business went down...we no longer brought anything... because it ruined it all....now they are trying to do that same thing with the Internet...if that. Happens it will be over
Muzak/Moods channels have moved from SES 3 to SES 1. Has anyone been able to migrate over to the new satellite? I cannot for the life of me connect to the old SES 3 OR the SES 1. Been doing FTA stuff for 20+ years. I replaced everything in my system even down to the coax, LNB, went to a larger dish and brand new tuner.
I miss the Satellite TV dish days of old...the wild feeds were fun 😊....i remember G 1 and G 5....T 1. And W 5 satellites ....Gene Scott.... would be on ... later a lot of junk that most people would not care about...then the Network stations like WBZ boston. ..and KOA Denver and others started to scramble the staions...in the 1990s....jt got worse....it was over the dish was left when we moved😮
@@peterfairlie2296 LOL Yeah you're a cool dude. I'm a huge nerd if I do the same I'll get 4 views and most of them will be people making sure I'm not uploading porn.
@peterfairlie2296 is it possible for somebody in the UK to pick up free up from your country the same way as you've just done with this for Europe and Asia ? Very curious about this technology actually works considering it's so far away.
Use to install " C " Band Dishes back in the day, when every, Tom, Dick, and Harry thought they could install a Satellite dish successfully ! It could be a nightmare following some of these guys, and trying to figure out what they had done ! It was a very different time, to say the least ! Seems like RCA launched a " K " Band ( Small dish ) back then as well, and for whatever reason failed ! I always felt it was pretty dirty, that the industry waited till lots of people had dishes installed, then began to scramble their signals, so they could begin to charge everyone to unscramble them ! Too, back then, when Networks went to a Commercial break, that's when you got to see and hear the real personalities of Host's and Anchors ! Lots of swearing etc. ! This back when those things were seriously frowned on ! As I said, a much different time ! Back when you went to a Movie Store to rent a VCR ! Almost sounds crazy ! But thats the way it was ! 🛰️ 📡

All these places have satellite dishes on them and rather than face suit for using on-air music, they use these services where the licensing is already taken care of for a flat monthly fee. Quality Dan's comment below is pretty interesting..... one more thing, is the polarization left or right handed?
How can I get Japanese channels like Tokyo TV or other Japanese media? What antenna would work better for that?
Where are you located? From Canada & the USA you can get NHK World Japan and NHK Plus from SES 3 at 103.0°W TP 12120 H
@@peterfairlie2296 I won't say location, but I am from Oregon.
Oregon will work for SES 3 at 103.0°W
@@peterfairlie2296NHK is on 103 West Ku at 12045 Vertical 20000 and NHK Japan is on 101 West Ku at 12000 Vertical 20000.

this guy: wow, it's flippin crazy there
C-band in the US is being phased out, right?
No not at all, however some of the original spectrum was recently reassigned by the FCC and auctioned off to the cell phone carriers for 5G. The original satellite C-band was from 3.6 GHz to 4.2 GHz. Now it is from 4 GHz to 4.2 GHz. The response by the satellite industry was to just launch more satellites into unused & available orbital slots to increase their capacity with the smaller amount of licensed bandwidth.
@@peterfairlie2296think they got some coin for the 400 MHz as well. I imagine that helped partially pay for the new birds.
@@peterfairlie2296 I see, I thought the whole C-band was being reassigned. Thanks.
Nice one. What app or system do you use on the ipad to visualize satellites real time paths?
Satellite Pointer app
btw do you feel safe putting these antenna in the yard/gardin?
this man scans TV licence officers transponders before they hit his street perimeter😅
Hi Peter, what sort of dish are you using? Looks the job!
Which one?
@@peterfairlie2296 Hi Peter, the first one - sorry I didn’t specify!
It's a c-com MP-100
Wow, how does the antenna automatically track satellites?
It uses an onboard 3 axis navigation computer with a GPS reference. From there is can determine its location on Earth. It then calculates what satellites are receivable from its location horizon-to-horizon. When instructed by the operator it then scans looking for the satellites signals. Once it gains signal acquisition lock it will precisely tune and peek the signal. It will continually monitor the signal and make adjustments as needed.
@@peterfairlie2296 thats fascinating. Thanks for the video and the explanation!
Is there a model number for the 3-axis computer? Your channel is amazing!
It's part of the 8020 iNetView position controller
You can scan mexican channels?
how do you get past the signal encryption?
BBC channel was encrypted??
Yes, LOL!
Based on another video I watched, I think the reason why the channels were encrypted was because they were intended for a satellite backup feed service that I think is called BBC Satback.
What is that APP
Just curious can the encrypted channels be decrypted easily?
Depends of the type of encryption they are using. Some are easy and some are still secure.
If i didn't know better I'd say you were in England from the look of your back garden and brick house
Where can I get such a dish?
Wish I had the room for a setup like yours. I'd have plenty of dishes in my yard and an entertainment center with many receivers for plenty to watch and listen to. I wish that Muzak was portable.
I used to have a C Band dish back in the 1980s and 1990s in California...i used to watch the world 🌎 with it....i have watched tv from Canada and Europe...than they made a real mess when they scrambled the channels...then had to get a decorder...it was was worse we the decorder would have to be fixed....then the satellite providers came...they want people to play for the stations even if we didn't use their service....they the whole satellite TV dish business went down...we no longer brought anything... because it ruined it all....now they are trying to do that same thing with the Internet...if that. Happens it will be over
Muzak/Moods channels have moved from SES 3 to SES 1. Has anyone been able to migrate over to the new satellite? I cannot for the life of me connect to the old SES 3 OR the SES 1. Been doing FTA stuff for 20+ years. I replaced everything in my system even down to the coax, LNB, went to a larger dish and brand new tuner.
Go figure....tore my system down getting ready for SES3 and they moved it back to SES1. Now I'm starting over!
Linear, Primefocus, Elevation Altitude, Circular Polarisation
Can it get PPV events?
Like sports feeds? YES
I miss the Satellite TV dish days of old...the wild feeds were fun 😊....i remember G 1 and G 5....T 1. And W 5 satellites ....Gene Scott.... would be on ... later a lot of junk that most people would not care about...then the Network stations like WBZ boston. ..and KOA Denver and others started to scramble the staions...in the 1990s....jt got worse....it was over the dish was left when we moved😮
I think one channel was North Korean, Wild @7:23
Love this shit bro! ok so ?4U can you point it at stars to hear anything?
Mind Control in 50 languages 😂
Japan tv?
I recognize your Intelsat bird

TY P
Skew, skew, skew.
I guess some people might like spending $5,000 on a satellite reception system that gets no stations in languages they speak but it's not for me.
Or you pickup North Korea, put it on your RUclips channel, and in 4 days it gets 300,000 views! ruclips.net/video/aT9vpzkcik4/видео.html
@@peterfairlie2296 LOL Yeah you're a cool dude. I'm a huge nerd if I do the same I'll get 4 views and most of them will be people making sure I'm not uploading porn.
Why did you flick through the channels so quickly? Some of them you only stayed on for under half a second!
Because it's copyrighted content. RUclips picks up on it really quick.
Myth or not:
Beam emissions can cause male sterilization if working around it over an extensive career.
Yeah, hundreds of free garbage nobody wants to watch.
The majority of those free channels is spanish channels because no one would actually pay to watch that crap :P
What app is that is it available on iOS App Store
Sir this is so cool!
I came from @UFDTech channel's short
@peterfairlie2296 is it possible for somebody in the UK to pick up free up from your country the same way as you've just done with this for Europe and Asia ? Very curious about this technology actually works considering it's so far away.
Use to install " C " Band Dishes back in the day, when every, Tom, Dick, and Harry thought they could install a Satellite dish successfully !
It could be a nightmare following some of these guys, and trying to figure out what they had done !
It was a very different time, to say the least !
Seems like RCA launched a " K " Band ( Small dish ) back then as well, and for whatever reason failed !
I always felt it was pretty dirty, that the industry waited till lots of people had dishes installed, then began to scramble their signals, so they could begin to charge everyone to unscramble them !
Too, back then, when Networks went to a Commercial break, that's when you got to see and hear the real personalities of Host's and Anchors !
Lots of swearing etc. !
This back when those things were seriously frowned on !
As I said, a much different time !
Back when you went to a Movie Store to rent a VCR !
Almost sounds crazy !
But thats the way it was !
