[QUOTE="RCP, post: 797791, member: 186733"] Hi Captain Jack and thank you for your reply. I'm actually very annoyed with myself because back in 1995 when I had the motorised satellite dish fitted, the installers told me to record video using Line 1 or Line 2 if I wanted stereo - yet I still managed to record all in mono!!! As for music, anything from Viva/Club Rotation in the mid 1990's would be fantastic. I actually purchased several Club Rotation music CD's from Germany in that era though missed out on the very first CD due to high demand. One thing I did notice was the fact that most dance tracks were made available in Germany several years ahead of their release (if at all) in the UK or anywhere else for that matter. The dance version released in Germany of the Coyote Ugly soundtrack by LeAnn Rimes - Can't Fight the Moonlight was far faster than the UK version and sadly I can't find the faster version anywhere. And rather cringworthy was the track released in 1995 in Germany by NSYNC featuring Justin Timberlake on a spaceship entitled 'I Want You Back'. Once again, it was released some two or three years ahead of the rest of the world. It's a real shame that VIVA sold out because it really was a very good dance channel compared to the modern-day dross provided by current UK channels. Having a motorised dish I was also able to pick up transmissions in 1995 onwards from the excellent French MCM music channel which played some very unusual stuff, but once again I recorded most video footage in mono.
