- ollybee 2y agoThis is what I was looking for, where did you see that info?
- anarcat 2y agoI think they built it. :)
- hadisafa 2y agoI made the thing :)
- harshaxnim 2y agoMay be you could put it up in the site too
- edm0nd 2y agoThis is such a neat project that you made!
- mxfh 2y agoLocal 58?
- ks2048 2y agoThis is a good idea for this app, but maybe the least realistic part of the old TV experience. You'd have maybe 3 "premium" channels of a mix of tv shows, news, talk shows, sports. Maybe a dedicated sports channel and dedicated news channel. A channel more biased towards educational shows. A channel or two of weird low-budget shows (local access). A few channels that don't come in well (static and distortion). And add some off-air "colorbars" sometimes. And a channel or two in a foreign language. And then force the user to get off the couch and walk to the monitor to turn a knob when you want to change channel...
- hathawsh 2y agoIt's more like SiriusXM than broadcast TV, and I would say the SiriusXM model is a lot nicer. I like being able to choose a topic.
- pants2 2y agoWould love a few more sports channels, a local news channel based on your location, and maybe a video gaming channel.
- hathawsh 2y agoThis project is very cool. Amazing execution. Other channels I would suggest: - Cooking - Family movies (from the public domain?) - Baseball
- pineaux 2y agoAlso diy and maker channel. Just add voidlabs, mitxela, some other makers Colin furze, adam savage and some woodworking channels, like four eyes furniture. Some metalworkers like inheritance machining. Just general creative engineering stuff but not documentaries.
- kajecounterhack 2y agoThinking back to childhood it was all History Channel, PBS, and Cartoon Network / Nick. Would be great to see analogues to some of those :)
- dbingham 2y agoIt'd be really awesome to have a link to the channel and video that is playing in case I want to find it later. This is a wonderful discovery tool, but I'd really love to be able to save the content I discover!
- denysvitali 2y agoOn the bottom right there is an ID that looks like a YouTube video ID
- Apofis 2y agoBuild that into the TV Guide!
- airstrike 2y agoI need this as a Roku app ASAP ;-;
- its-summertime 2y agoOne channel I always appreciate wherever I go, is the low budget non-profit hobby regional channel. Would love to see people just working on projects they have around the house, not taking things too serious.
- thruway516 2y agoI just wasted the last 2hrs watching instead of working and I have not even made it past Channel 8. Thank God there're only 12 channels, I was afraid they would find me dead from starvation at my workstation in about a week's time.
- bambax 2y agoGreat. Can you elaborate a little on how channels are populated? Do you search YT for tags and order by most recent videos first? Or do you do some manual curation?
- freddref 2y agoI'm curious here too, I only flipped through your channels for a minute, but found something interesting immediately. I go to youtube and seem to run out of quality quickly. I even went as far as crawling the HN frontpage for videos - see hacker news TV - https://xiliary.com/bck/hn-tv.html https://xiliary.com/bck/hn-tv.html
- bambax 2y agoGoing through your comments I see that you answered this elsewhere, and said that videos are handpicked [0]. Congrats for the dedication this implies! So now my question is, how do you imagine this will work going forward? Do you plan on selecting more videos indefinitely, or are you working on some search system?

- tempestn 2y agoChannels really should go from 2-13 instead, but this is awesome.
- GeorgeDewar 2y agoWhy is this? In my country they start at 1.
- antoniojtorres 2y agoWhat’s wrong with channel 1?
- tempestn 2y agoIn North America there was no channel 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_1_(North_American_TV) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_1_(North_American_TV) Old school TV dials went from 2 to 13.
