Default Anybody remember watching this

The old Astra channel guide for 19.2e. From the days when Sky was on 19.2e instead of 28.2e

What a great tv listing, there was better and free channels back in them days. I think it's time for me to backup my betamax tapes :-) i have loads of old signal test cards and news broadcasting. All this old stuff is what made me get into electronics and what makes them tick,

Arr the good old days when TNT was free, nudging the dish with the broom sometimes gave better picture, sparkles came with the rain and you could see what the Germans were watching all on one system.

As far as you are interested in:

We've been collecting loads of old stuff at our German forum www.ukwtv.de. To read the thread, go to http://forum.mysnip.de/read.php?8773,554983 (all in German, of course).

Most of the stuff is hosted by an FTP server:
ftp://ukwtv:upload@ukwtv.inparty-fm.de/httpdocs/

There's lots of German but international and English stuff as well. Be aware, this FTP server is only temporarily available.

It used to be on in the Tyn Y Capel Inn,(Minera) near 20 years ago,the dam place was packed because not many had Astra 19, it was indeed difficult beleave such a show was on TV. Up to then it had been up to the nightshift fitters to make the film show a friday must,
