Imagine being a kid in the late 2000’s.. it’s late at night and your parents just got cable TV for the first time and you just want to watch a show- and this pops up.
I like how the list of channels that were gone is _less_ than the ones listed in the pre-2008 video, yet the script is the exact same with them saying that they will continue to make security so much better.
It’s amazing someone recorded it, and shared it somewhere on the internet. As this could’ve easily been lost and forgotten media, along side with the other anti-piracy measures by Dish.
I remember growing up with Dish network as a kid in the 90s. I had no idea this was such a huge problem back then that Dish had to create a channel just for satellite pirates 😂. I wonder if the other satellite company (Direct TV) thought of doing the same at some point.
Notice they avoid saying it's illegal and that could be criminal penalties because that wouldn't be true. Anything broadcast over the air you can decode and it's not illegal. It's not like stealing physical cable which is actually a crime.
Actual Anti-Piracy measures: You're an unauthorized viewer of our channel, please pay for this channel to not face legal action against you. You obtained this game illegally, please support us by paying for the game. (PIRATA PIRATA!!)

This is actually really well-done! How did you get the AI voice to lip-sync with the actor so well? I assume the footage itself was taken from a promotional commercial of some sort. I also like your realistic and compassionate approach to anti-piracy - companies don't convert pirates to paying customers by scaring them, after all!
it's not an AI voice, this video was made in the late 2000s and that's the spokesman's own voice. Dish did have a kinder approach to piracy here though
@@rubenthepotatoYeah this one is more chill compared to earlier pirate tv shorts. A previous one used scare tactics saying you are a committing a crime pay us or we will report you to the police basically.
@@Kai_rivera8018 We have plenty of good TV free to air here in Europe. For even better and adfree TV you subscribe to the channel owner/group, not the satellite provider.
This was probably recorded in the early 2000's before there were a billion streaming services. Cable and Satellite were the only 2 choices besides free stuff over an antenna
@inter_1097 satellite was never a subscribtion here in Europe. You wanted luxury channels without ads or soccer, you subscribe to the channels, not the satellite service. The rest was free, including the popular and good chanels. I bought a card for the HD versions of the 40 dominant channels. I paid to the HD carrier HD+, not the satellite company. This way TV can prevail, unlike American TV, where you need a subscription for Satellite alone, which circumstance makes cable TV able to compete with satellite in the US.
Absolutely right. Satellite providers should charge the TV stations, not the viewers. This is the way here in Europe. You do not subscribe to satellite. Just point the dish and you're done.
@@Mi_Fa_Volarethe network providers charge loads of money to the cable and satellite operators such as dish which is why it costs money. In fact, Dish Network dropped a bunch of local channels a while back due to a dispute where a company that owns a lot of the local channels wanted to charge them 13 billion per year
@@Mi_Fa_VolareYeah when i moved to Europe, i was surprised that in most countries, you dont pay for satellite tv, unlike in America and also Japan, at least thats how i remember it when i was younger.

There were some earlier versions with a skull and crossbones logo on them that would have been even creepier and more unsettling lol
Pirate TV? @@christopherwilliams9418
“DID YOU KNOW YOU’RE A SATELLITE PIRATE?”
no u
No, YOU. I don’t even HAVE cable.
Or so I think…
I was well aware I was a satellite pirate. good times
Oh my god really I never knew 😂
*makes one piece reference *
*this* is how an anti piracy screen should have been

They cant stop me modifying a satellite dish
real
@@rubenthepotatoYes they can
@@tinaclaxton5818not really, just make sure you have proper jamming devices
This is a polite way of saying that you are now committing an illegal act.

All was needed was the telling testers that without phoneline, they can not be tracked ;)

Imagine if this was a thing now *Laughs in iptv*
Tbis is the only real anti-piracy screen i know

This is a real anti-piracy screen, sorta... Wow! This one is actually quite kind looking. Nothing like the fake ones!
DirecTV's agreement took me here.
I feel scared lowkey
Take a shot every time he says "DISH Network". 💀

You have to subscribe to a satellite provider in America? No wonder TV is dying in America.
If you want to get good TV that is

@@Mi_Fa_VolareIn Italy you have to buy a "Tivùsat" decoder before pointing the dish, since the only Satellite Free To Air country is Germany
