[WestWash97]

What are "SECAM" and "PAL"?

[UIWWildthing]

@WestWash97 SECAM and PAL are different formats of TV broadcasting. SECAM was developed and used in France and a lot of Eastern Europe, while PAL was developed in Germany and used by much of Western Europe. I'd check out Wikipedia if you want to read more on it.

[stogerovn]

I'm curious what kind of antena you had :-)

[MrFckng]

1969. The first television broadcast in colour.

1985. 90 percent of the year's programs is broadcast in colour.

[Zenebuddhista]

A magyar televízió 1987-ben kezdte meg a teljes színes adást.

The Hungarian television started the full coloured broadcast in 1987

[ritusdius]

Na! Ki koppintotta kitől? Ez a videó 2x fent van!

[Leeate]

It's a pity that only news videos are there of the old MTV, I'd be interested in what other kinds of programmes one could see...

Btw, TV1 and TV2 both are a bunch of ... nowadays (yet more interesting than idiot commercial channels) (n)

[fun17092008]

I know that at that time the Hungarian television is just programs, programs, programs. I see panatta93's videos and his/her videos closedowns don't have anything!

[6jpn850]

@fun17092008 In 80's Hungarian TV is idiotic. But now it's very good! And at that time it close about 0:30 while now is 2:00!

[FrbyNorilsk]

does somebody know the classical background song together with the clock?

[pitcalco]

It is definately a waltz by Johann Strauss. I think the "Viennese Blood Waltz.", but don't quote me. If you go down to the library and borrow a "best of Strauss" album this music will definitely be included.

[mihalylovics]

Other MTV videos?

[FrozenDoberman]

Yes. Some MTV1 test cards from 1980s, received in U.K. or Holland.

[mihalylovics]

Please upload.

[ThaiBeyond02]

I really want to see it! I would like to see old Hungarian television videos.

[fun17092008]

But old Hungarian television is boring. In Poland's better.

[television472tv]

@FrozenDoberman 1:29 Why they play the tone pieces because They are startting to open?

[andremp03]

1986 and still in Black and White? lol

[FrozenDoberman]

The original 1986 MTV-1 TV broadcast was in SECAM colour. However, given that the signal was received some 1,100 km away, only B/W was decoded.

[andremp03]

Ah I see, that explains it. Thanks

[danieladamko]

some old vhs tapes looses the higher frequencies .. color carrier, color burst and sometimes the whole sync signals

[FrozenDoberman]

Yes indeed - especially when the TV signal is received at a distance of 1,200 miles (1,900 km).

[danieladamko]

true

[gmedvegy]

yes, we had to watch tv in b&w and this quality in the dark communist era :D

[ThaiBeyond]

But i know that MTV start broadcasting in color around 1995

[gmedvegy]

i was joking :)

they started to use the SECAM color system at the end of the '60s, and they switched to PAL around '95.

[NESHero]

1995? that's a bit late for colour transmission isn't ?

[ceneterwebzemplen]

They started broadcasting in color, at the end of 60s.... now m1 and m2 are avaialable in HD too at the hungarian DVB-T.

[johorean88]

it was 1986, and the signal was received in Holland using a different kind of antenna and frequency, which explains why there was no colour.
