SeattleWireless TV Broadcasts Again

Posted by Hemos on from the pull-it-down-from-the-skies dept.

adpowers writes "After a month long hiatus, SeattleWireless TV is back. This break allowed them time to include footage from August's Wireless Field Day. The episode also includes a how-to for making a BiQuad antenna and an interview with SeattleWireless founder Matt Westervelt about how SW is different from other community wireless networks. You can download an MPEG version with BitTorrent. Windows Media and Real Media versions are available on the website."

    Back in the olden-days all of our TV channels came to us via wireless. It was a great improvement having moving pictures to go with the sound.

    Now we have the cable, like everybody else, but it doesn't sound like you youngsters know that there was TV before the cable.

      There is also this marvelous idea to make hardcopies of e-mail and physicaly transport the hardcopy to the recipient, thus allowing you to communicate with people who don't have access to the internet, or even a computer. The lag is a little worse thought, but I'm sure they are working on that.

    I doubt it will catch on tho. Next you'll be telling me we can get radio from a satellite.

    you would have to broadcast your callname over it, and then we cant transfer porn.

    It's called a callsign, and it's not pr0n, it's "binary files" to test link integrity... :-)
