Thats not a testcard - thats an info card.

They are probably worthy of their own thread at some point as I have dozens captured on video tape (somewhere in amongst all the tv related junk!)

Test cards are a variant of the colour bar or "circular" type

I have a few creations I'd like to share with folk. TV Testcards (mainly UK testcards, idents and tuning signal screens) I've put together with a little screensaver which allows you to view them randomly in full screen on your computer. Works best for those with older square monitors. Might bring back a few memories for the more mature enthusiast lol

Right Click on the ssmypics.scr and pick configure. Set it to full screen, turn off transitions and browse to the folder to tell it where to find the testcards. Then just double click the ssmypics.scr to run it. It doesn't install, just leave it in the same folder.

Hope you enjoy them.

For the sad people that want widescreen testcards, I've stretched (altered) a few of the old ones to look correct on widescreen monitors. Not how they should really be seen, but if you don't like black borders and not worried about how correct the testcards are, this is for you.

Excellent Ive found another set of tc's hidden in a forgotten folder on my computer, so first up is one that was on 28E for a while. Babetalk is/was a slapper-on-a sofa channel and this card was transmitted in January 2008.

This tc was part of a loop played out before Italian channel Fox Retro launched onto 13E in July 2009

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

House Of Fun was another 28E slapper-on-a-sofa channel. From January 2008.

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

PunjabiWorld was a short lived Asian channel on 28E. This tc (complete with shocking spelling mistake!) is from February 2008

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

Northern Birds is another slapper-on-a-sofa channel. From January 2008.

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

Samacom is an uplink station based in Dubai and I spotted this tc on 13E in January 2008

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

Now an unusual one - all the way from Syria!

Seen on 13E in December 2008.

Staying in distant lands heres one from Armenia. Spotted on TV Shant in December 2008.

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

And from 5E heres one from the Ukraine. Noted in March 2009 this is TRK Novyny

I think one of the most intricate & attractive testcards was the card used on Servus TV on 19E taken last month.

Kourou tc from the Atlantic Bird 1 launch in October 2002

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

Fucino Italy tc 13E back in late October 2002. Fucino Earth Station is an uplink station, and at least 3 different versions of this card have been noted over the years.

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

Another one from October 2002 - this one is off 13E and is from Dubai

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

Sudan TV 13E October 2002

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

And another north African - Libya from the same time period. 13E

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

I dont have the satellite noted for this one, but according to KingOfSat it may well have been Astra 2D at 28E!

Anyway its ESA TV from Luxembourg.
