Secret Satellite Signals - Muzak - NHL - In the Clear - 100's of FREE Channels

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...

Can you imagine having access to this equipment 30+ years ago! What we could see.

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

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.

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..

YouTube gods blessed me today having your channel come up in my algorithm recommended!! New sub! Binge watching so much today cleaning! Thank you!

Greetings from Sudan 😂 .. i got here bcoz of the Korea channel video though

You gotta love the automatic features in these GT media boxes that ensure you have something to watch 😂

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!

you're the kind of neighbor i would love to have (: good thing we have youtube! cheers!

You have the coolest videos on YouTube. Brings back memories of my FTA days.

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!

You started the video with my favourite clip lmao. Kills me every time hahaha

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.

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.

8:29 lol😂 i laughed when you said "its probably time to pray

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

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... 😀

I'm sure the cat(s?) love that CRT spectrum analyzer even more than you do
