Long-distance TV antenna lets you watch homeland TV from anywhere

The TVBrick is a device targetted at ex-pats. You buy a TVBrick and plug it into a friend's antenna back in your homeland and connect it to the Internet. Then, you move off to some other place and use your Internet connection to watch all the shows being aired back home. ...

TVBrick uses the Linux Open Source / Free Operating System developped by American, European and Japanese engineers. The TVBrick appliance is based on the OpenBrick platform (http://www.openbrick.org). Because it includes no fan, no hard disk and no moving parts...100% silent...24 hours a day.

Dang, that refresh.

I just have to start paying less attention to work on my desk and more to the Bildermann-sama.

Jean-Paul Smets, CEO of Nexedi, notices "The use of TVBrick appliances for private use within the same family is compatible with Copyright Law in Europe and in Japan. This is why [b]Nexedi is selling TVBrick to families only, mainly Japanese. [/b]Also, in order to help our customers not to infringe on copyright, we implemented a password system to restrict access to members of the same family."
