I dunno if I mentioned this but one thing I loved about analogue cable is The audio was MONO which really helped on Mono movies.......
The Breakfast Club in 1985 is Mono for example and I have that recorded from HBO and its goregous. Its amazing what I can hear in the background.. On the MCA tape I couldnt hear anything in t he background,the audio was horrible.......... |
Re: Analogue Cable Memories
On that point, from what people remember, were the analogue cable services offering stereo sound before terrestrial which started on the BBC in 1991.
What I do remember is that Bell Cablemedia offered a radio service, and this included FM feeds for the music channels, Sky Movies and Sky Sports 1. It also featured 5 Live and the other BBC and independent stations available in the area at the time a few megahertz higher than the actual frequency. The signal was plugged into the back of your hifi. I presume other cable companies also offered this. I presume that satellite equipment was stereo compatable from day one. |
Re: Analogue Cable Memories
ComTel Oxford offer serveral radio channels which could be linked up to the hifi - MTV audio was available there too.

Re: Analogue Cable Memories
There was some office set up work late in 1993, but the majority of staff started in 1994 - I joined them the first day they opened the Seacroft office (Monday 3rd January), as employee number 50 (then spent six months down in Watford).
The network build didn’t start until 1994. |
Re: Analogue Cable Memories
I started with Nynex as an engineer whilst they were still building the switch in Warrington, as soon as it went live i had cable installed and have been on cable ever since. I have seen a massive amount of changes since then. I remember installing a local ISP with a 2Mb line via copper to be shared amongst their dial-up customers. At that time, they were getting the best there was.
