Satellite TV for PC
Has anyone else tried this program? I couldn't get Rachel Maddow's show in my area and was just looking for the justin TV that others were getting feeds from. It works well for her show and plenty of other channels, but I haven't found the Ed Show or Lawrence O'Donnell. The feed is as good as TV, but not as large of course. Wish I could transfer my PC video to my TV monitor.

2. I think you may need a HDMI converter?
and cables to run from your PC to converter then to your TV? Perhaps will need to change some settings in control panel? Maybe someone else has more info on this? I would like to try this also.

3. If you have a recent TV it could be as simple as hooking up a cord from your computer..
Otherwise there are adapters available that will connect virtually any computer to virtually any TV.

4. Just have your Internet, routed back to your tv through
Edited on Tue May-17-11 06:21 PM by RandomThoughts
an AI filter that creates CGI tv at some black room in a cable company, to match and respond to inputs from posts on Internet.

Then you could be 'talking to yourself' as the AI subsystem, puts stuff on your TV that is not on other peoples TV based on what you output to the Internet.

Would also match the scene in Fahrenheit 451, and would fit with people thinking there tv is talking to them, when they are talking to themselves. Although there are metaphors that could work with that.

Lots of plot twist could be in that.


Was going to write a story about that.


And I am still due beer and travel money and many experiences.



Note the song, "is anybody out there". If he questioned it, then it shows that those that think that is happening are in the delusion put on him that he explains in that song.

Proves that is not the case, but it is possible for people to form the question if anyone else is hearing what they are saying.

Many of you may have heard Pink Floyd for years, and never actually thought about the lyrics.

However there are people that change a few nouns, and use some CGI on TV, the reason is a few changes make you wonder if it is all changed, so it creates a situation where a person does not know what is real. By a few correlations, and known changes, you ask what is real and what is not. It is used to remove tv as any source of information, it requires some delusional help, but is part of some systems.

Side note, that is in torture manuals, and why it is said the USA is in Gitmo. One of the methods of torture is to get people to be disorientated with what reality is, and since many peoples realities are TV, TV can be used to create that. Also why they have to isolate by trying to take beer and travel money, to hope that TV becomes your source of information. And that is funny.

If you can get a person to question what is real, and they can not fight blind, then you can try to get them confused. Hence why the first lesson of a Jedi is to fight blind.

7. Or,as in Pilot Training
Never trust your senses. Your instruments are your guide.

I had a flight instructor that used to make me recover from spins under the hood. It saved my life.

Not perfect, but better than the teevee.
