WiB - ultra wideband efficient UHF broadcast

[[Teracom]], inspired by earlier research {{cite journal|author1=Yiyan Wu|author2=Bo Rong|author3=Khalil Salehian|author4=Gilles Gagnon|title=Cloud Transmission: A New Spectrum-Reuse Friendly Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting Transmission System|journal=IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting|date=21 June 2012|volume=58, Issue: 3|pages=329 - 337|doi=10.1109/TBC.2012.2199598|url= http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6222350/?arnumber=6222350 |accessdate=25 June 2017|publisher=IEEE|issn=1557-9611}} , introduced a new system concept dubbed "WiB", that aims to improve [[frequency reuse]] in the [[Ultra high frequency|UHF band]] while at the same time enable savings in both operating power and capital expenditures costs. {{cite conference|author1=E.

TV signal uniformity illustrated: trees, diffraction, reflection and multi-path

The following article illustrates various cases of radio signal propagation. It helps you understand why moving your indoor antenna only a few centimeters could drastically improve reception. This analysis is from 2005, however radio propagation rarely follows trends - instead it dully stays the same every year.

DVB-T XMLTV EPG grabber complete

It runs on over the air broadcast, so you won't see any more grabber failures because of a website that decided to change their design (deliberately). bkil-open: tv/grab-dvb-epg.sh

Classical music played at Astra launch?

Anybody knows what music they played on Astra in the 90s in the background on the information channel where they showed new satellite launches? Not sure, but I think it was the Ariane series vehicle. I recall the composition mostly used a single bowed string instrument, maybe a cello.

PCI DVB tuner fix for timeout waiting for DSP ready

I had a similar problem as described below on Ubuntu 12.04 and found that inserting saa7134-dvb into /etc/modules.conf did the trick for me too. It's interesting though that it has been working fine before. I did recall seeing this issue once or twice, but this time it did not seem to have been resolved by multiple cold booting by itself. http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-June/026775.html [ 43.162971] tda1004x: timeout waiting for DSP ready [ 43.202914] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid [ 43.202918] tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...

Shift key often gets stuck on Ubuntu 10.04

The problem is triggered by me rapidly changing capitalization via shift while typing. I use the two shift keys symmetrically, but it always seems to involve the left shift. It lasts from about 10 to 30 seconds on average, but today it ceased to resolve by itself. So I started to research the issue (IN CAPS), and thankfully found something that seemed to work: CTRL+FN-F1 to switch to a console, then back to Xorg with CTRL+FN-F7, and pressing the left shift right away. Maybe it is indeed related to TVTime usage, I need to concentrate more on the issue. It is said to be caused by automatic periodical screen saver inhibition via stuffing control and shift keypresses using XTest. Ubuntu Bug #588473: shift key get stuck randomly
