40: "Watch" TV
The chips in my SDR stick are also being used in DVB-T dongles!
So, can we watch TV? Unfortunately, no.
From what I pieced together, there's a difference between using the stick in SDR mode (where it sends the full spectrum), and in TV mode (where it sends the decoded video).
In Germany, there's now DVB-T2, which my hardware don't support in TV mode.
And in SDR mode, the bandwidth is too narrow for DVB-T2.
But we can scroll over a channel and look at it! :3
