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.
