Would be cool if pirate TV existed in the same way as pirate radio
Discussion
(Obviously would be a much much bigger task than an illegal pirate radio transmitter).
Pirate TV exists. I helped setup and run a Pirate TV station back in 2000/2001 that we created to broadcast during anti-IMF/World Bank protests. This was all before flash made web streaming easy, but we did also have a live stream of the protest using Real Networks.
Now TV broadcasts went digital and it’s much harder to make a transmitter than it used to be.
Nice.
I was thinking with the switch over from analogue to digita..l. Old analogue TVs could be used for Pirate TV world transmissions. If you can till buy them? (or imagine a whole market of DIY analogue TV sets lol).
Obviously streaming exists, but just imagining a culture of pirate analogue hardware in homes, like ham radio. Slightly more romantic lol:)
best show ever produced in Brazil was actually called "pirate TV" (1980s). unfortunately, only its name as it was broadcasted on the most mainstream channel, globo.
