A personal collection of software-defined radio projects that decode NextGen TV, over-the-air television, and GPS/Galileo signals using ordinary hardware.

Why it surfaced

The centerpiece is a complete ATSC 3.0 receiver that reportedly runs in real time on a six-core CPU, with 720p60 video, AC-4 surround sound, captions, and no FPGA or demodulator chip. Its unusually concrete validation numbers—77,547 of 77,552 FEC blocks converged, zero underruns, and byte-identical offline re-decoding—give this project more substance than the usual radio-hacker landing page.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
