A 24/7 broadcast of videos recommended on Hacker News, presented through a playful television interface.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.

For: Hacker News readers looking for video recommendations
Worth noticing: Controls include numeric tuning, a program guide, mute, theater mode, and fullscreen; runtimes remain estimates until YouTube metadata loads.

Field notes

The interface lists keyboard shortcuts alongside its on-screen controls, including number keys for tuning and G for the guide. The page credits HackerTube (ODC-By) and open-index/hacker-news for data, and notes that estimated runtimes can leave viewers at a “please stand by” screen or cut a program short.
