Oh if only I could go back to 1997! #hacktv
Some serious #hacktv is going to happen at @hamlab
Well this was unexpected #emfcamp #hacktv
A bit of #D2MAC #DMAC #HackTV stuff arrived in the post. Three manuals: a Ferguson SRB1 BSB Receiver service manual, a Fairchild Semiconductor Semicustom Databook and a National Semiconductor Terminal Management Processor (NS455) databook.
The databooks aren't related but they were only a few pounds on ebay.
Anyone with a revision 9 HackRF able to do a quick test with hacktv? A user is seeing an odd banding pattern in the test image when running at the default 16 MHz sample rate. It doesn't seem to be present in earlier revisions. #HackRF #hacktv
So the journey into the deprecated bands of analogue television begins. The portable tv here is a 6-inch superheterodyne #Šilelis-405D, manufactured in #Kaunas around 1985, capable of 92x116mm B/W reception on VHF and UHF. #HackTV

Slowly figuring out the packet format used by BSB's satellite boxes. Finally got it to show the programme information. #hacktv #BSB

The more work I do on the #analogcable project for #hacktv, the more I feel like I might be making a trip to the Cable Center's Barco Library in Denver, CO in the not too distant future. Assuming it's open to the public. That's a question I need to ask ... https://www.cablecenter.org/the-barco-library
