What do people remember from the good ol` analogue days?

[Topper]

Yes I remember watching the news and sport uplinks, I remember seeing Damon Hill start a Friday morning practice and only get to the first corner in his Williams and the front wheels splayed apart in different directions, 'cos the mechanics forgot to put the top trackrod bolts in, you didn't see that on any broadcast from Eurosport or anyone else for that matter. Happy Days

and was it called tuti fruiti on rtl, wonder why i watched that!!!!!

I can think of several reasons!

Whatever happened to it - remember that Polsat tried it but never seen it after that.

Most of the German I know came from that programme - Heiß und kalt!!

JohnC - the log fire is still shown occasionally on Super RTL analogue & digital!

Philh - Space Night is still going strong on both Bayern channels. Every Sunday evening they havethe same clips on - space views from orbiting craft. Excellent

Boy-o-boy.....
More comfy nights by a warm fire...!!!
Nostalgia!!.... Nostalgia!!....
Then of course was the never ending train journey with the camera purched on the front of the train.... I think thats still shown sometimes.

well, i am trying to get back into satellite stuff, but its hard when all i know is analogue, i had a sky and d2mac setup, and had the likes of tv1000, a great channel, good movies untill 12:00 then a hardcore channel.. pity i cant get the info i need :>(

 

[gameboy]

... pity i cant get the info i need

What info?

 

[PaulR]

My very first satellite setup. A Ferguson ex-BSB DMAC modified for D2MAC and a squarial pointed at TDF1/2 at 19W.

I once saw some a most bizarre film that I've never seen anywhere else. The only bit I can remember was that there was some parasite (alien?) in a man's trousers and there was a scene of a woman giving him a blow-job. Then the next thing was that the parasite was diving into her throat and pulling bits of her gizzards out.

I think that the american actor Scott Glenn was in there somewhere. Any clues anyone?

LOL, NOW you're asking!!!! Was he the alien-trouser-parasite?!?!?!

 

[PaulR]

No, he was in the film not the trousers...

And it wasn't the wrong trousers!

[BGonaSTICK]

ROFLMAO!

You're not giving me anything I can search the IMDB with!!! O-Ha

 

[Channel Hopper]

I dont think Glenn Scott has been in too many horror (or erotic films), maybe one of the Carradine brothers ?

The premise sounds like one of Cronenbergs releases - Shivers maybe ?

Look at the PC Card section of this Forum - plenty of advice on setting up the card. You won't need cams or smartcards if you install a program like ProgDVB and a plugin such as S2emu.

I never had analogue- shame, it sounds good.

Was Sky (u.k.) ever hacked?

h**p://www.tv-ark.org.uk/otherchannels/otherchannelsindex.html << some nostalgia (screensport included)

[rob12770]

thanks Llew , i assume you agree with my thoughts of getting a skystar 2?
and yes Wilf sky was hacked, there were a couple of methods back in the day, one was to modify your box, and link it to a pc, i did work, but there was not much point as the european sats had more to choose from and it was much easier,

Im not fussy about Sky, its not much good anyway just repeats and adverts, thats why im cancelling my cable, its just not worth paying for.

i use a projector (CRT) and an HTPC (home theatre personal computer) so thats why i thought id a pci alternative to a settop box,
this seems like a very good forum, im sure ill spent a lot of time here
cheers rob

This thread could go on forever !
Does anyone remember a magazine called Satellite TV Europe ? I still have the first copies somewhere with a DIY series to build your own system, including the LNB from componants imported from the states ! And to what end ? there was just 1 Russian satellite at the time. - I still have my homemade lnb in a shoebox somewhere. My first dish I made myself by taking a mould from a radar dish I "borrowed" for a weekend. -Those where the days !

 

[Tigerasss7]

I bought a card in about 96 -

the card actually had a keypad on - Sticking out
of the D2mac I used to programme the Credit
Card length codes in from a Newsletter that
arrived a day after code changes - WOW :ch1
