Any updates if the signal is still there or gone ? So sad….

I’m more saddened about loosing the last analog signal over its content. Sure FM modulated analog NTSC signals take up a lot of space and the quality is only 480p on a full transponder but for museum presentation I think the analog signal should’ve been preserved but I could understand the...

Analog and Satellite enthusiasts. It’s heartbreaking and sad to hear that the last North American NTSC analog satellite tv channel CSPAN will forever disappear, in fall of this year (2021) on the cband satellite system. This marks over 40 years of analog cband satellite tv transmission coming...

Until the mid 2000s everything was usually recorded to tape and then played off tape anyways. Umatic and betacam were formats used in studios to playback content and they had racks of those machines for switching for segments and playing commercials before going for uplink. I have a few master...

Most of the hotels here in Mississauga all had cband satellites. Not one but two dishes sometimes 3 or 4 some of them are still up but a lot of them were removed. I can think of 8 or more hotels out here that still have old dishes up on the roof.

Hey all, thought i'd share a few commercials of old cband satellite ads. I really wish I was around in the 1980's and owned a cband dish. It would've been a dream cometrue to watch analog wildfeeds. Have a fun look at these old commercials for nostalgia. the satellite ranch commercial is...

I acquired lots of old beta and VHS tapes recorded off HBO around 1985 I’m watching them and even though I wasn’t around it just is far superior to what airs on tv today imo these were recorded by a guy who had a cband here in Mississauga Ontario. On one of the tapes I found an old CHUD promo...

Someone rescue this free this. In Pickering Ontario on Kijiji. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-services/oshawa-durham-region/removal-of-inground-satellite-dish/1535454738?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ios_social

I was browsing YouTube and as some of you know I have an analog obsession. I collect vintage audio video equipment. Fascinated with analog cband but at the same time very much interested in the new 21st century modern HD and 4K stuff. Saw some early bob cooper and Shaun Kenny stuff. Saw Shaun...

Fm analog signals on ham radio? How does that work? Never knew about that. Can you tell me more ? How does analog video work on ham radio what would I need to set it up? Sounds super interesting.

Thanks. Messaged the person for the V-Box that’s a damn good deal. I think I will buy it and use it for moving my dish when I put it up with a LNBF. As for the dish it doesn’t seem like it has the polar mount. Really wish I could put up my dish right now but not till I move. I just hope cband...

I check Kijiji almost daily and same goes for marketplace. A lot or them are too high up and or the bolts are rusted making it impossible to remove. Tek2000 sounds like a good idea plus it’ll be a brand new dish. Although that would be quite expensive. Cheaper to look and find a backyard dish...

Looking for a 10 foot dish for my friend who wants to get into the BUD hobby as well. I have a quadstar 10 foot but keeping that for my own install. Looking for a reasonably priced 10 foot dish. Preferably within the GTA. Around Mississauga/Brampton/Richmondhill/oakville area. Preferably...

I’m taking down a system today and I thought I’d hook it up and tune into analog cspan or leash attempt it. I have some wiring here and I don’t want to short anything. Have I plugged the actuator wiring in correctly ? Are there supposed to be two cables for it ? Also where does the polarizer...

Any anybody recommend a good place to get the wiring from? I have to get it for my friend and drop it off to his house. I’m thinking Home Depot will probably carry it.
