TV Crashing?

2007/01/07 filed under /personal

I barely watch TV, but sometimes I like to zap my way through the channels. Today I decided to see what was on and after a while, I noticed this screen:

TV Crashing TV Crashing

Unfortunately, I have no clue what channel this is, but based on the position (channel 28) I bet it's one of the local channels.

A little online searching led me a website telling a little about "NewsCast.exe". I assume they sell the software (it's not clear on the site). Based on the horrific layout of the website, I have no reason to doubt they are the ones responsible for the crash ;-)

(the website isn't interesting enough to translate. Roughly they claim the software is for anyone who wants to broadcast professionally. It's some kind of news system, somewhat similar to TeleText)

I'll update this post if I find out what channel it is that's crashing my tv! (If I don't forget, and care enough ;-)

Nice! So, you were channel surfing and this was just on one of your channels or does something in your entertainment setup actually run Windows?

Correct, this was what I got while channel hopping.

... oh and it indeed was one of those local channels that usually no one cares about ;-)
