After a month of driving around the Nutmeg State with a Wavecom receiver hooked up to the trusty portable boob-tube, the signals intercepted were either broadcast TV signals from Wavecoms being used as a "VCR Rabbit" (remember those circa 1990s that operated on 902-928 Mhz?), a lot of parking lots, and the occassional driveway. All in all, the 2.4 Ghz. ISM band is becoming yet another garbage band with all the cordless phones, 802.11 LANS, microwave ovens, and Wireless Cameras.
I've had more fun putting the transmitter on an R/C car and driving it around the back '40, or aiming it at the bird feeder. I think eventually I'll have it watch the dog run. Any Connectucut War Drivers (2.0) are more than welcome to help me babysit my Keeshound. I'll even give you a QSL card!
Just as an FYI, wireless video is found at places other than 2.4 Ghz. I've seen stuff on 433 Mhz. (mostly ham radio "ATV" stuff, but not always), UHF TV (Chs 14-69), and of course 902-928 Mhz.
