This is a VCR-recording of an analogue Satellite TV bandscan made back in 1993 using a Manhattan 9000 satellite receiver and a 3 m aluminium, motorized and polarmounted satellite dish (Aerial AS30), location Europe, Scandinavia, SW-Finland.

At 2:18 there is the ARD 1 test card that shows: 17:40:08 02.03 (time and the day and the month). ibb.co/tqxVFvj

Then at 4:15 there is a scrambled news feed transmission that shows the following: ...C EVN-1 2nd Mar sun 93/091347. Unfortunately Youtube video compression can not cope with this frame so I have uploaded it here from the original video capture:
ibb.co/X7tHfHY

Also some C-band received up here, even those signals were very weak when received long outside of the targeted footprint. End part has some Astra satellite received by a 90 cm dish for comparsion.
