The original video cipher decoding tapes referenced in this video were posted here but sadly I can no longer find them. I find this fascinating as my aunt had a backyard sattelite dish with all this tech wired up in her basement. I also never knew that early pay t.v. boxes were literally boxes you dunked change into. 5 stars.

i only had one or two chances to dink around with one of these huge rotating satellites in their heyday - blew my mind as a kid to see international television. was always insanely jealous of the rich farm kids who had one, especially when we only had 2 channels

The background music that starts at 12:40 is by Boards of Canada.

Fucking neat. I wonder if the pay TV change collectors owned their routes like a lot of vending machine or pinball machine guys did back in the day, and got completely fucked when technology made them obsolete.
