Thank you very much, those were the golden years of satellite tv hobby here in Europe, all brand new technology, weak signals, big dishes and great satellite tv content.
I was born in 1987 and I didn't discover satellite TV until the mid-90s! I was very aware of The Simpsons but my only means of watching that show was 2 of the retail VHS volumes and we were also sent home recordings of later episodes on VHS! I was only aware of Beavis & Butthead thanks to magazine adverts for the video games (the games were also reviewed on Citv video game show Bad Influence) and while the magazine ads do feature the MTV logo, I thought they were just a production company like Disney or Warner Bros! Rugrats, however, is a cartoon I really enjoyed watching on the BBC but when Kellogg's included Rugrats pencil toppers as freebies with their cereals, the backs of the boxes said "You've seen them on Nickelodeon" and I was like "WHAT?", causing my Mom to tell me of satellite TV! It wouldn't be until a trip to Center Parcs shortly after when, while channel hopping on the TV in our villa, I would find the actual Nickelodeon channel and Cartoon Network! As a result, I demanded my parents get Sky at home, but we didn't get it until spring 1996! Glad we did, I was very much a Nickeloden kid in mid-96 before switching my allegiance to Fox Kids later that year and later Cartoon Network!
Did you receive the old satellite OTS-2 (10.0° East & 5.0° East) [KU-band] . There is OTS-2 footprint in the magazine TELE-AUDIOVISION 12/1982 Nr11 p.25 .
No, I do not remember it being active anymore when I had my 1st dish around the time of this video. But I remember seeing some big 5m dish installations for it earlier around 1982...1983
Hello, I had a copy of the Cable and Satellite Yearbook 1986 and I took some photo copies of the satellite charts & footprints. More of those here: bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2083#msg2083
Congratulations about this historical satellite video !

this Video is cool! I like it my dish was in 1987 a Hirschmann 180cm and a LNC with only 2,2dB noise and a Maspro SRE-80 receiver.

If you have any captures from Sky Movies early 1990 (just after they scrambled) - let me know!
I have several movies recorded from Sky Movies from 1990 on VHS, will digitize them some day 🙂

Where did you find these old pages of magazine "SATELLITE AND CABLE EUROPE" about satellite Eutelsat I-F1 (ECS-1) ?
