could possibly very helpful for schools who are trying to setup their own video streaming classes.
This device is helping to deliver TV on the cheap. For about $34.00 you could build your own. Read more about the WiFi Can TV at Geekcorps. If you are interesting in building your own check out the detailed instructions in PDF Form. The heart of the device is a module from Airwave Technologies, you can have a look at the specs. and buy your own from Active Robots.
“In the village of Bourem Inaly, Mali there are over 120 television sets powered by 12-volt car batteries, but there is almost nothing to watch. With its CanTV project, Geekcorps has helped the local radio station stream video content to the local community over WiFi. The radio station, which rents these units out, benefits from a new monthly revenue stream while the villagers benefit with an improved source of news and entertainment.
One goal of the CanTV project is to make it possible to build the CanTV receivers or TV cantennas (antennas built with cans) using locally using locally available parts, with the exception of the $25 audio/video receiver currently imported from Canada. Also, the TV cantennas have been designed so that a local technician can quickly learn how to install them without special tools. The radio station already has access to television broadcasts via satellite, and a TV over WiFi transmitter installed in August 2005 by Moussa Keita of Geekcorps.”

Amp Switch in a Altoids CAN
Cool Amp swtich in a altoids CAN. I was always thinking about something like this, so you can switch quickly between TV, PSP, and DVD…
6 pound 360 degree panorama viewing helmet
Cool, here’s an emerging technology that is very innovative and at its incubation stages. Although the helmet does weigh massive 6 pounds, with the speed of changing technology, we should be able to expect a 3-4 pound version at production. It would be very nice if they could make some glasses instead of a heavy looking helmet… or maybe at least make it look like a motorcycle helmet, then it would at least be stylish and rad…
Toshiba has developed a 6 pound giant freak helmet to give you a 360 view of your TV or video game. Aside from the fact that most TV is so awful that I do not want or need a 360 view, the only possible use for this to succeed will be pr0n.
Linux DIY Hack - HOW TO - Scan the ‘waves with your TV card
Wow, here’s a cool way to put your old linux box to good use…TV wave hacking!
AMXL shows you how to use a SAA7134 based TV card and Debian to tune in to all sorts of waves you can’t normally get with your TV… Looks like it will work with many of the TV cards out there too… - “If you have a TV capture card in your computer, you probably already have all the hardware you need to listen in on much more than just TV and radio (only software changes are needed). The hardware will also allow you to hear emergency services, taxi and freight radios, UHF citizen band radio, aircraft transmissions, and more. In this article, I show you how you can make your Linux distribution (I used Debian Sarge, but other distros should work too, as long as you have a 2.6.x Linux kernel) and SAA7134 based TV card tune into those frequencies you can’t get at with a normal radio or TV.”
BIG TV from JVC, 110 inch!
It’s got good resolution for the size, I don’t need this, as my 42 inch is big enough for me…but if i had a big house, i’d want one…
It might not be as fancy as the ongoing plasma and LCD wars for largest display, but rear projection displays can have size wars too, and JVC looks to have the largest yet, at a spankin’ 110-inches. The TV uses JVC’s proprietary “D-ILA” liquid crystal panel tech, for a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, and pulls 220w of juice for powering all its glorious pixels. As usual, there’s not much of a plan yet for commercializing this display — the main purpose of the prototype is to show off a new screen tech from Toppan Printing that is manufactured as a single component — but there’s always bragging rights and booth extravaganza action to be had.
