There is no analog TV being broadcasted anywhere close (if anywhere at
all?). The only thing producing an analog TV signal I can think of is
actually my father's C64 and I'm not sure it still works.
Though a good bit of the code involved could be tested if we could get
DVB to work via tvi_dshow...
However for my device I couldn't even find a working driver (Windows
finds a driver for, but it doesn't actually work).
Not to mention that the only way the reception is good enough is if
I hold the antenna in my hand at a very specific angle. Not a
comfortable way to code...
