Oh man you are taking me back! A neighbor had one and as a kid I was truly fascinated by all you could find in the skies! So much was different from local TV, even the cable channels we had. It led to a TV career that continues to this day. Thanks so much!
Closest thing to surfing the net. Must have been incredible. If you're gonna throw these tapes away, please archive them, post them online. This stuff is ephemeral, and will be lost forever, if not preserved.

Very neat! I barely remember C band satellite as a kid. I’m 35.

Awesome. Thanks for posting. Any promo feeds (network/cable) on these tapes?
Not sure what you mean. Like commercials promoting their TV channel? Most things are raw video before a control room has it or adds things.
Yes, promos for channels and programming. @@ChgoHawks
Other than that, are there any more raw sports broadcast feeds in your collection (besides Blackhawks games)?
I have some baseball, other hockey teams and Chicago Bears from 1985 season.@@ChrisHadleyWriter
