SignalsEverywhere: Using HackTV to Transmit Analog Television with a HackRF

Over on her YouTube channel SignalsEverywhere, Sarah has uploaded a new video showing how to use a program called 'hacktv-gui' to transmit analog TV signals using a HackRF software defined radio. Analog TV standards such as PAL and NTSC have been phased out in most of the world in favor of digital TV standards instead. However, transmitting these yourself can be a fun experiment that may help breathe life into old television sets.

In the video Sarah explains how to use the hacktv-gui and hacktv software, and how to create a video transmission. She mentions how hacktv also supports the use of a FL2K device, which is a cheap VGA adapter that can be used to transmit signals.
