Thread: C band Back in the day

Here are a few pictures I took from video tapes I have back in the day from C band approx 1988-1990. Some will remember this stuff. This will be a treat to the nu bees just getting into it.

The pictures are of Much music Canada on Anik 1 (the original). The Sky Store on Westar 5. and Viewers Choice 1 on G3.

Enjoy

Ahh yes. Wonder if anyone has video of the Satellite Wizard or the old Skyvision channel.

I don't have any vid's. But those memories (from my childhood of the friends cband system) is what got me to start searching for what was currently out there. The sad thing is first I found D**H hack. Then after a little more digging I found what I consider the major hall of DVB standard and FTA receivers.

My Two Cents.

Thanks,

Josh

I have all kind of stuff on like 1000 tapes and not enough time in this century to go through it all

The Sky Store! Wow. I bought a bunch of stuff from them. They had a reciever with a 70 Mhz IF that had tremendous video (for the time) I probably paid 100 times what I sold it for on e-bay a few years ago. Now, if I could only remember the name of it.......memory is the second thing to go!
