Testcards

[Analoguesat]

This one apeared for a few seconds at the end of tonight Everton - Huddersfield on 10E Carling Cup game - just as well I grabbed it when I did as it went to no signal a couple of seconds later!

Shame they didnt leave it up long enough for the text to scroll over a bit further

This one is currently showing on Eutelsat W6 @ 21.6E (11109 H 2667 3/4). Normally shows CNBC feeds.

Found this one on Express AM-44 @ 11.0W (11499 H 3214 3/4). Normally just plain colur bars on this TP but has changed to this today.

Just spotted this one on 10E on a Portuguese feed. Post #107 has a similar one from RTP-24

Astra 1C @ 2.0E was lit up like a Christmas tree tonight. I counted 12 or more active feeds for SIS, Sky, ITN and others. Some were encrypted and some were in 4:2:2. Managed to get these 4 testcards using my Nova HD card.

Nice one Ratchet. Nice to see theres some life left in the dilapidated Astra 1C :-worship

Just found this Cyfra+ example on 13E. Its being carried on the Canal+ Gol label. Scrambled in seca/mediaguard.

More from Astra 1C, this bird is heavily inclined but peaks at 18:00 - 19:00. Probably why it is so popular for regional news OB feeds.

Two test cards of ERT World (GREECE) of same feed but from different sats .
Hotbird @ 13.0° East 11319V 27500
Intelsat 10-02 @ 1° West 11092H 15551

Astra 1C appears to be just as busy at the weekend. Plenty of HD feeds for Sky News and Sky Sports News. Here is another selection of colour bar variations from this old warhorse.

Spotted this testcard on Intelsat 905 (24.5W). It was being shown on RASD TV (República Árabe Saharaui Democrática) on 11190 H 1852 3/4. It normally just shows a static picture of a flag when not broadcasting.

Just spotted this rare 28E testcard whist flicking across the channels. Open Access 3 is rarely on air apart from weekly coverage of the Yank Nascar series race.

Yes I know its chopped off due to an incorrect aspect ratio , but no matter what AR I set the tv card to in my computer it looked like this!

Ive found a testcard maker bit of software!

Heres an "Analoguesat TV" one I knocked up in a few minutes

This is an unusual one thats appeared on 19E on the Montagne TV label on 11509V

Another one from Open Access 3 - this time when the Sunday night Nascar feed dropped.... The white rectangle moved up and down.

Lol - I had to put the fondly remembered ATV colour discs into it

Anyway heres another proper one - this was after a feed from the Spurs ground tonight. The words must have been scrolling as this was the final image transmitted as the feed dropped and the image froze on my tv card. if I'd have noticed a few seconds earlier I could have got the lettering properly centered

The words actually say

Globecast SD
UKI 496

 

[wod]

found these 2 on 10e earlier

 

[Analoguesat]

One from 28E. Just spotted this one on the 10110 label on 10758V

The info in the middle changes to two different phone numbers.

 

[Analoguesat]

Just spotted this one on a MLS 10 feed from the States.

The writing alternated with a phone number & "625/50"
