Mate... you can't imagine the goosebumps I got when I found this. I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid... I knew every little detail from start to finish, and it's so awesome to know I wasn't alone! Thank you so much!
Wot happy memories!! I used to love watching this for hours when I was a kid, but my parents never understood why! It was always fascinating to see how the whole system works. Thanks 4 uploading!
i thought this was epic when i was around 7.it used to play on repeat on the astra channel and i used to watch it over and over. the music at 3:27 would give me shivers
Wow, what a great flashback! I used to look at this over and over again at 7 o'clock in the morning, because it was the only station broadcasting interesting stuff... (I was 7) But as I recall we didn't have the voice-over, just the exciting music.
Strangley enough I was just watching the Dr Who at the Proms concert and I heard Prokofiew being played. I instantly thought " I remember this piece of classical music, it used to be played on my brand new Sky Digi box on the Astra channel years ago " I never thought this promtional video would be on here lol.. Thanks for the memorys to the person who posted this. PS.. The actuall music is :Prokofiev - Montagues And Capulets
the launch at 4:40 along witt the space footage on br alpha german channel was what got me addicted to space footage, now the ISS streams live space footage for a space fix but this was where it all started lol more than 15 years ago, proper cool vid thanks
I spent many fascinated hours watching this, when Sky TV was just a baby. We had this diamond shaped satellite dish, satellite TV was the next big thing. I was 11. Cute :-).
used watch this over and over in the 90s,pretty sure there was satellite channel that broadcast it on a loop or something,remember thinking it was so special to have satelite tv wen we got it in the early 90s.
Cool I also used to watch these over and over since 1993 when I first got satellite. I remember I keept moving the dish to try and get rid of the black and white dots but they never went away.
Thanks for the info. The film did note the location of their headquarters, but ownership could still be remote. I wouldn't even know where to look for such information. Their subsequent exclusive use of Bikenoor might support my original supposition, though there are other good reasons I'm sure to use the dependable Proton.
Loved watching this when I was a kid! Always found it fascinating. Anyone know title title of the music used right at the beginning when it shows the Astra flags?
Loved the music from 3:27 to 3:41. Don't know the name of the track though. I was 20 when I saw this in 1996 and would still fascinate me today as I've just seen the whole thing through! Thanks for the memories!
Eventually we got this massive 1M (must have been) perforated metal dish. The front of the house looked weird with the two of them on there next to each other :).
Hi Does anyone know the Classical Music Piece that is used 5:23 - 7:40, I've been looking for the name to this for some time, even emailed astra but they are unable to tell me Thanks
Well done, but corny, even for 1996. The cheezy electronic music, the style of the script, the graphic modes - it looks like the kind of instructional films I watched in grade school in the 1960's, or now in parody on shows like The Simpsons. The music frequently reminds me of Russian themes, and another of their promo's gives special attention to the Proton rocket over others, making me wonder if the principle owners or customers aren't based in Russia. Bravo. 5 stars.
Can someone please tell me what opera is played from 3:23 to 3:40 because i'm looking for it for like 12 years now ;/ and i dont know the title :( i only knew that i saw it on astra promo once.Please can someone help me ? :(

@artgro86 When I hear that I can see Alan Sugar saying "You're Fired!" (it was used as the theme to The Apprentice in the UK)
That music is
Prokofiev - Dance of the Knights.
@1976stuart1976
That is Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet, No 13 Dance of the Knights
