Build Your Own TV Without Broadcast Flags

Build Your Own TV Without Broadcast Flags - doom writes "An account of an event sponsored by the EFF, a "roll your own television" build-in. The San Francisco Bay Guardian has coverage in an article entitled Build Your TV!". From the article: "According to the FCC, the flag is going to ease the nation's transition from today's analog televisions to tomorrow's high-definition televisions. What exactly does it mean for a government agency to "ease" the transition from one kind of TV signal to another? In this case, it seems to mean making the entertainment industry feel very warm and fuzzy inside." The EFF's efforts against the flag have been covered before on Slashdot. [SlashDot.org] Damn, I almost missed the boat on this one- totally forgot about the broadcast flag. Looks like it may be time to save up for a new [url=http://www.pchdtv.com/]tuner card[/url] and get back into Linux. That's the problem with using Windows- stagnant software keeps you blind to the ever-evolving digital world.
