] Below are some single frame snapshots captured February
] 15, 2003. The source station was KSBW-DT, channel 10 (195
] MHz), Salinas, CA. The program was "Law and Order", and
] the recording was made between 8 and 9 PM Pacific
] Standard Time.
]
] Samples were recorded to disk in real time at 20M
] samples/second using the mc4020-read-adc program provided
] with the GNU Radio MC4020 A/D card driver. Once the
] samples were on disk, they were processed using the GNU
] Radio HDTV receiver, atsc_rx. The output of atsc_rx is an
] MPEG transport stream consisting of a sequence of
] 188-byte packets. The MPEG tranport stream was then fed
] into the Xine MPEG player and displayed. The 2730 x 1088
] .png files were generated from within Xine.

The War on Technology rages on..
