  1. We just submitted AnalogTV for tvOS 1.6 to Apple for review. analogtv.net

    It's got tons of fixes, but one feature I think is really cool: when you sign in to Plex, you can pair with QR code.

    It's rendered entirely in CEEFAX block graphics, not a bitmap dropped on top of the teletext page. Same mosaic characters the rest of the screen is drawn with.

    As far as I know, this is the first time anyone's put a QR code on #CEEFAX. #Vintage #VintageElectronics #vintageTV #BBC

  2. I seem to have "i'm a very friendly lion called Parsley" from The Herbs stuck in my head.

  3. Life's just a dated game show
    Look at what you could've won
    Super, smashing, great

  4. I so have the theme to Man about the house stuck in my head and it does not go with the Glasgow i'm seeing. Amuses me though.

  5. The latest version of AnalogTV analogtv.net now does full signal chain simulation of Apollo TV. This is not a "filter" or "shader" this is a full emulation of the signal.

  6. I used the 22-minute After School Special "THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN'T" starring Judd Hirsch and Mariette Hartley as a classroom Halloween treat every year during my career, following its release in 1979. Kids loved it. #halloween #publicschool #publicschools #publicschoolteacher #teacher #teachers #schoolteaching #halloweenparty #halloweentreat #juddhirsch #mariettehartley #television #classictelevision #tv #classictv #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #1970s #prestigetelevision #teaching

  7. For old times sake and to momentarily forget what a mess things are.... #UK #vintagetv

  8. I'm starting a new fad for all fans of the 25-year-old soap opera, "PASSIONS." Every time arch-villain Alistair Crane (Alan Oppenheimer) appears 'hands only' from behind his leather chair, I raise my hands, and act the scene with him. Join us! Soon all the cool kids will be doing it. #soap #soaps #soapopera #occultsoap #occultsoaps #occultsoapopera #occultsoapoperas #tv #television #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #vintagetelevisionshows #classictv #classictelevision #alanoppenheimer

  9. Technically this is the first Columbo. A different actor and it is 1960. The cigar is about the only commonality to what Peter Falk would being to the role nine years later. #Columbo #TV #VintageTV

  10. Barely remember this. Filmed in #Scotland in 1981 but not broadcast until 1983. Contains vintage footage of the period shopping centre in East Kilbride (be still my beating heart) #VintageTV imdb.com/title/tt0241114/?ref_

  11. Hungarian TV in real SECAM, but with modern content (from M1 HD).

    That Eastern Block look: the color encoding quirks, FM “fire” artifacts on a CRT pipeline.
    No filters, no AI - pure physics simulation from broadcast specs.

    Brings back the vibe of late-era Hungarian state TV. One of the rarer standards fully modeled in AnalogTV alongside PAL variants and MUSE.

  12. @MLE_online i hope they manage to rehome it, it's a shame to see them just get dumped outside somewhere to forage for survival on their own. People think they can take care of themselves, but they can't, not after they've been domesticated

  13. I never watched any of the classic 60s Brit TV series of The Avengers (I was note familiar with the 70s New Avengers) until circa early 2000s and by then it was owned by Studio Canal which initially puzzled me but the French loved the original series apparently.

  14. Following the renewed interest (and from some the very puzzling "it's a waste of money" disinterest from some) of the return of human beings going to the Moon it's time to remember again one of the greatest pieces of telly explaining how things are connected.

  15. Every now and then this short lived Channel 4 series I remember catching in the late 80s pops back into my head. Very few clips ever surfaced online but the black & white with spot colour intrigued me then and the humour of the host.
    I believe Stuart Cosgrove had a hand in this.
    The band featured here were from Ruchill #Glasgow (home of entertainment). #music #80s #VintageTV #Scotland

  16. @emsquared 

    Now you have me worried Spit the Dog has some historical abuse allegations against him

  17. We have a mischief of magpies close by. I see them quite often holding meetings or group therapy on the various rooftops around about and visiting the non hanging bird table.
    I still count them off, in my head via the old Magpie them tune.
