- VideoCipher II was an analog video and digital stereo sound system on C-band dishes. When the signal is mistuned, you get sparklies in the picture and crackling in the sound. Its strange how the crackling has a stereo effect

Analog C-band satellite TV.....I miss you....
C span is last analog c-band but will end this fall
Most of C-Band has been auctioned off for 5G cellular. It used to be 3.7 - 4.2 GHz, but now 3.7 to 3.98 has been sold to Verizon and AT&T. All remaining users will be repacked to 4.0 - 4.2 GHz. There is a small guard band in between to reduce interference.
The bright spots on the picture are spikes in voltage that are so large they spill into the adjacent audio signal. The actual audio carrier from the Galaxy to the VC is digital so that's not where the crackling is coming from.
Oh this brings back memories.....
Interesting fact my parents had a vcr when I was a kid which had a factory macrovision bypass chip in it, But it also mildly descrambled videocipher II scrambled channels when you viewed it running threw the VCR to the point were it was watchable. Still color hacked but the wavey line was gone. To the best of my knowledge it was a RCA VHS VCR Model VMT285
!las antenas parabolicas fueron lo mejor en su tiempo! ni en la lluvia se perdia la senãl!
Houston Tracker. We went through two of those in my parents' house....both Tracker V systems.
James Stanley Barr Mine is an Echostar SRD-5000. I still use it to move the dish and have a 4DTV to listen to free music.
mattcintosh2 Well, I was close. The on-screen display is just about the same. C-Band is sadly dead for us consumers.
James Stanley Barr I'm trying to track down a Macom M1 receiver. Even just a picture of it. I remember my grandparents having it back in the 80's (I was able to get the installer to send me a picture of the original invoice from 84 or 85)
+James Stanley Barr I had a Houston Tracker V, also. I was just thinking that the on-screen display looked familiar. Miss that receiver
It must have been in the early 00s shortly before the blackout of the analog signal from the TNT channel. a doubt .. what's the name of that movie?
I put the dish up in late 2003. This was probably recorded around 2004-2005. Unsure of the movie, something I just was randomly playing around with at the time.
This is NBC series named Las Vegas. It ran from 2003 - 2008
las antenas satelitales en banda c no han muerto,,,yo quiero comprar una.. la gente no sabe como volver a reutilizarlas,,se requieren lnb digitales con new recivers receptor nuevo so you i mean all of you can see it a lot of programming in the sky
In North America it's dead. 3.7 to 3.98 GHz has been sold for 5G cellular. The few remaining C-Band stations repacked to use 4.0 to 4.2 GHz.
My 10ft Winegard still stands, although it isnt hooked up... Tossing my overstock of receivers VCII units, 4dTV units, and random IRDs.. Sad this technology has been killed off by greedy pizza dish companies..
Before you toss all that, check this out www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6NDUHG
I'm thinking about sitting in front of my dish with this plugged into my laptop watching HD video right off the dish (there's even some 4k out there). And showing that I'm actually getting the video from the dish, I can just lean on the dish and the picture will pixellate.
That's a tracker 5. I hated grammin them
No it isn't. Its a EchoStar SRD-5000
They were very simaler. As a matter of fact the power supplies were the same
I'm actually still using it. I like the fact the displays are on the front and you can move the dish and change the polarity right from the unit without having to use a remote or the TV. It basically just works as a positioner for my DVB-S2 receiver. Its hooked up to 10ft Orbitron Spinclination dish.
that's awesome, can you still get programming on those?? c-band or ku band?
Ku for analog was pretty much dead when I put up my dish in 2003. Right now on C-band, I think there is a couple full time analog channels (CSPAN) and possibly a couple of feeds.
If you buy a DVB-S2 box, there is quite a bit of free stuff out there, but I mostly just leave it parked on the DMX audio channels.
