Free Satellite TV - 100's of Channels - Low Cost Antenna

I'm in the uk and I remember buying a 50cm satellite dish and pointing it to Telstar 12 at 15W West. That particular satellite carried the news feeds from the USA to Europe and you could see the presenters during commercial breaks lol. Some Would swear, take about the weather, flights absolutely everything 😂. It wasn't live on TV but the satellite feed was still live

It's great info,for when you decide to retire from working.😂

Very nice! Even modding satellite TV antenna dishes getting worldwide channels is something greater to try, lad.

Thanks. I’ve been using this simple cheap set for about 15 years. It works well.

Cuba and Mexico!!!..was fun to watch 😊

Hey Peter, thanks for the videos! Started watching your stuff since you posted the Flipper traffic preemption "tool" that I may or may not have tried around the GTA myself :) These sat vids bring back some memories from "testing" everything Sat and FTA related. All the names are starting to come back Pansat, Dreambox, Fortec. Started with Bell 301's with cards, through FTA, all the way until N3 showed up. Unfortunately had to get rid of all my hardware, but that patchbay looks similar to what I had set up at the time with 5+ dishes, multiple Diseqc switches and all the fun that came with them. Good blast from the past and nice to live vicariously through someone while not being able to pop a dish up anywhere on my shoebox condo. Looking forward to more!

Good to see that the free channels you can get haven't changed since I had my motorised dish 25 years ago.. religious, religious, religious 🤣

Man that setup is cool. Last year I put up a motorized 1M dish with a standard KU/KA band LNB hooked up to my Android TV for FTA giggles. I've got one of the zGemma H11s receivers which works perfectly for FTA and some encrypted stuff but nowadays here, a majority of encrypted stuff, like "Sky" is using Videoguard with an extra layer of protection so unless you're using a paired card with a provider's box you're straight out of luck for "premium" channels. There are some encrypted channels that can still be decrypted otherwise, some even still using good old BISS. It's very interesting finding the feeds and other random tests, I remember finding some years ago with a provider box just putting in custom frequencies when there was a test MTV service and a few other music channels due to launch, and always found regional feeds too :P

It's interesting that the LNBF is linear as it looks exactly like mine but mine is circular polarization (Bell / DISH ones). But you have a label on it still good so it's good to tell. Thanks for your videos

Every time you upload I know it'll be gold before I finish. Maybe you can decode the video stream that's baked into the hughesnet/AOL PIDs. I only got a little with potplayer.

This is amazing! I have a cheap satellite receiver I bought off Amazon ($35 after tax), and a free satellite dish I found in a scrap yard. Now I can use this for my camper's TV! I'll have to hunt for a portable pole stand.

I have a 90cm dish with a staab rotor. In germany i can receive hispasat 30w without problems. 28.5E (UK TV) works also great.

110 TV channels doesn't seem like that many for a satellite. When I scan Astra 2 at 28.2°E I get 474 TV channels and 55 Radio, and that's just the unencrypted ones.

I remember back in the day with dish and the FTA files.

I remember seeing Color Bars and back hauls for sports that was cool 😎

13:23 That's a channel from Spain, Antena 3. Hahahhaa. Serioursly, I love your videos.

I enjoyed my FTA setup years ago, I had a 3 foot motorized dish, I forget the receiver brand, but it was fun scanning for satellites and channels, found some pretty cool stuff to watch.

Omg you had me in tears at 7:30 lmao.

This is cool!

I had a C Band Dish...in California...I would get everything....I got as far as Europe and Australia....Even if it had snow in the picture 🖼️...but it was fun back in the 1980s and 1990s
