Idee sucht Umsetzung
Seit Jahren ärgere ich mich, dass unser Sozialstaat einerseits kaputt gespart wird und andererseits Geld für hirnlose Großprojekte ala #BER, #Stuttgart21, #EGK (elektronische Gesundheitskarte), #VDS (Vorratsdatenspeicherung), #Bundestrojaner und vieles andere mehr verschwendet wird. Leider bin ich nicht am 33C3 und auch kein Programmierer - aber ich möchte gerne meine Idee an fähige Leute weitergeben: Ich stelle mir eine App und Webseite vor, mit der jeder Bundesbürger die Misstände in seiner Umgebung fotografieren kann und umgehend auf auf einer Karte (openstreetmap, google-Map) online stellen kann. Der Missstand sollte kategorisierbar sein (verottete Schule, Kita, Schwimmbad, Sportplatz, Bahnhof, Gleisanlagen, Straßen, etcpp). Aus diesen ganzen Bildern sollte sich relativ schnell auf der Deutschland (Europa-) Karte ersichtlich sein, wie groß die Misstände inzwischen sind und für die ganze Welt öffentlich sein. Damit kann endlich Druck auf die Politik ausgeübt werden (so hoffe ich). Conversations: firstname.lastname@example.com
- pfft, als ob das was brächte. Die Misstände sind bekannt und die Auftretensdichte wohldokumentiert. Es ist ja auch nicht so, als ob die Kommunen nicht bereits "Druck" nach oben ausüben würden. jm2c

What to Buy
Haute couture, street labels, mystical stones, tonic foods, works of art, porcelain and gadgetry… We could go on and on.
The devotion Hong Kong applies to shopping is a sight in its own right. The city's heritage as an international centre of trade has led to an incredible variety of goods, while the local passion for buying and selling infects almost every corner of the city – and all those who enter it.

Pain Relief Beyond Belief
The Ahmad Jamal Trio's 1958 album "But Not For Me" may have confounded critics, but it changed the direction of the jazz-piano trio, influencing such great names as Peterson, Evans and Davis. The recording remains one of jazz's most elegant recordings.
Fifty-five years ago this week, an album by a jazz trio entered Billboard's best-sellers chart and within weeks jumped over Elvis Presley's "King Creole" and Mitch Miller's "Sing Along With Mitch" to occupy the No. 3 slot. The album—the Ahmad Jamal Trio's "But Not For Me," recorded live at Chicago's Pershing Lounge—would appear on the chart for 107 weeks, confounding jazz critics and influencing the direction of the jazz-piano trio. Today, it remains one of jazz's most elegant recordings.
Recorded on Jan. 16, 1958, and released that spring, "But Not for Me" deeply affected how jazz pianists voiced standards and interacted musically with their bass players and drummers. By August, the album had sold nearly 48,000 copies—a staggering accomplishment since any album's sale of just 20,000 copies in its first few months back then was considered significant. Equally impressive was that the album was on Argo—a niche label based in Chicago. By contrast, one of jazz's most successful albums—the Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Time Out"—wouldn't be released until the following year and was greatly helped by Columbia's powerful mail-order record club and marketing machine. By the end of 1958, "But Not for Me" was the top-selling jazz album in stores.
The rapid rise of Mr. Jamal's album and its staying power owed much to the trio's relaxed sound, its long-term stay at the Pershing and a media gambit by Argo executives. When early word of the album's strong sales trickled out, the label invited Billboard to review its books. Billboard took a look and published a buzz-building trade article in August 1958 that caught the eye of radio and retailers and led to the release of singles from the album—including "Poinciana," which became the trio's signature song.
Mr. Jamal's distinctive style—melodies played on the piano's upper-most notes combined with elegant and brief midkeyboard chord clusters—had been revered by jazz musicians since his first recordings in 1951. Miles Davis so admired Mr. Jamal's lyrical, space-rich approach on "Surrey With the Fringe on Top," "A Gal in Calico," "Billy Boy" and other early recordings by the pianist that he recorded them virtually the same way. The trio's conversational approach also left a lasting impression on many pianists, including Oscar Peterson, Red Garland, Bill Evans, Phineas Newborn Jr. and Herbie Hancock.
Yet jazz critics gave "But Not for Me" and Mr. Jamal a rough ride. Martin Williams in Down Beat magazine called the album "cocktail piano" music, while Ralph J. Gleason wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that Mr. Jamal was "an effete Erroll Garner" who left "too many spaces for the other members to fill." The New Yorker's Whitney Balliett said Mr. Jamal's style gave "the impression achieved by spasmodically stopping and unstopping the ears in a noisy room." Rather than embrace Mr. Jamal's minimalist sophistication, critics simply concluded he had sold out.
Listening to the album today (it can be found on Mosaic's "The Complete Ahmad Jamal Trio Argo Sessions: 1956-62"), it's hard to grasp why so many jazz critics missed the point. The album features Mr. Jamal, bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Vernel Fournier performing eight swinging interpretations of well-known songs. Critics who had gushed about Ella Fitzgerald's Songbook series and many jazz-pop albums produced by Norman Granz were curiously hard on Mr. Jamal.
For their part, many critics by 1958 had come to expect jazz pianists to serve up growling, robust attacks—like the gospel-funk of Horace Silver, the fiery flash of Mr. Peterson and the daring of Thelonious Monk. By contrast, Mr. Jamal was gentle and spirited, playing with songs like a cat on its back having fun with a ball of string. But while the album is a study in subtlety, Mr. Jamal used plenty of percussive surprise and an elastic range.
"The orchestral sense I had developed growing up in Pittsburgh never left me," said the 83-year-old Mr. Jamal in a recent phone interview shortly after releasing "Saturday Morning," his latest CD. "My extensive use of the keyboard's high end just happened. I liked the melodic nature it lent compositions. By lingering there, I also could leave plenty of room for Vernel and Israel."
Mr. Jamal's orchestral approach to his trio arrangements—worked out in advance of performances and recordings—allowed the listener to hear the piano melody way up top, Mr. Fournier's whiskerlike brush strokes in the middle range and the thump of Mr. Crosby's bass down below. Mr. Jamal was keenly aware of how space could pull listeners close while familiar melodies and high notes won hearts.
Fans can thank a glass of wine for the recording. In 1956, Mr. Jamal was playing during intermissions at the Embers in New York when a drunk with a request accidentally spilled his drink all over him. "That was it," Mr. Jamal said. "I got up, Israel and I got our coats, and we drove to Chicago in my Buick station wagon. My guitarist, Ray Crawford, didn't want to come, so he stayed behind."
Once in Chicago, Mr. Jamal went to the Pershing Lounge and proposed playing there as its artist in residence. "I had a name by then and they liked the idea. I hired Vernel to join Israel and me, and we played five sets a night, six nights a week, for over a year. Everyone in the music business dropped by to hear us—and many heard ideas that they used for their own trios and albums."
In late 1957, when Argo's owner, Leonard Chess, began talking about recording the trio, Mr. Jamal insisted they do it live at the Pershing. "The room was about intimacy and drama, and we were comfortable there. We were more than ready after playing together for so long. We recorded 43 songs that night in front of a live audience. I listened back for a week and chose eight tracks for the album. There was no splicing. What you hear is what we played."
But fear of artistic theft had forced Mr. Jamal to take precautions. "Leading up to the recording, we stopped playing 'Poinciana' to keep my arrangement a secret. I thought another pianist might come in, hear it and steal what I was doing. I knew we had something special. I had a gut feeling."
Mr. Jamal was more than right. When "But Not for Me" was released in 1958, it had enormous crossover appeal—creating a new architecture for the jazz trio and how standards were interpreted. Unfortunately, many jazz critics didn't know what to make of it. The album had become too successful.

Oct-27-2009 HMFA Celebrates Completion of Exterior Facade on Historic Trust Building in Camden
HMFA Celebrates Completion of Exterior Facade on Historic Trust Building in Camden
CAMDEN - New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Executive Director Marge Della Vecchia today joined state and local officials to celebrate the completion of exterior façade renovation of the New Jersey Safe Deposit and Trust Building (Trust Building), located at 301 Market Street in the heart of downtown Camden. Upon completion, the rehabilitated Trust Building and building addition will provide 35 units of affordable housing for senior citizens.
"As the State's housing agency, we have a moral obligation to provide quality and safe housing to Camden's senior citizens that is within their means of affordability," said HMFA Executive Director Della Vecchia. "The HMFA is proud to be involved in a significant Camden landmark's transformation into a state-of-the-art senior housing facility."
The Trust Building, an iconic Victorian style office building built in 1886, is one of the most historic and architecturally revered landmarks in the City of Camden. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 and was listed by Preservation New Jersey as among the "10 Most Endangered Historic Buildings" in the state. Vacant for approximately 30 years, the Trust Building had fallen into grave disrepair, and many thought it could not be saved. Given the building's significance, the rehabilitation and restoration of this structure into a productive functional use will have a tremendous impact on the revitalization of the Market Street corridor, which is in very close proximity to the commercial district, Rutgers University and City Hall. Accessible public transportation is within one block.
The Trust Building project consists of the complete historic renovation of 301 Market Street and the new construction of a four-story addition on the adjacent lots at 303 and 307 Market Street. The completed project will include 30 one-bedroom apartments and 5 two-bedroom apartments. All of the units will feature energy-efficient design. Amenities will include hardwood floors in the living areas, high quality kitchens, dishwashers and state-of-the-art security systems. Additionally, there will be 3,500 square feet of ground level retail/office and restaurant space.
RPM Development Group is the real estate developer for the Trust Building project. The renovation is one element of a larger scale residential project called Market Fair, which is also being developed by RPM Development. The entire Market Fair project will encompass 301 to 307 Market Street in downtown Camden, and 1260 and 1276 Collings Road in the city's Fairview neighborhood.
The Market Fair project is supported by various federal, state and local agencies, including $6 million from the Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Balanced Housing Program, $1 million in construction and permanent financing from the HMFA's Special Needs Housing Trust Fund, $3 million from the Camden Economic Recovery Board (ERB), $1.2 million from the City of Camden's HOME program, and $500,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Thanks to Matt Murray who shared the source of the following information with me...
Many of the Google applications and features listed in the following blog post by Darko Johnson are fairly easy to put into use in any car dealership. The email functions would be very effective for mystery shopping and could save an Internet Sales Manager or BDC Manager a lot of time when dealing with many different issues that these features can help resolve.
Darko Johnson especially likes the hidden secret functions within Google's GMail and so these 6 ISM Ninja App Features starts off with GMail… Source Credit: Written by
1. Create unlimited disposable email addresses with Gmail
If you add dots (.) between the letters of your Gmail username, sending an message to the new username will get forwarded to your original email (which is without or with only 1 dot.) For example:
It doesn't matter how many dots you'll add between your username, all of the emails sent will go to your original email. Gmail provides another great explanation:
Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:
- firstname.lastname@example.com = email@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com = firstname.lastname@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com = firstname.lastname@example.com
All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You'll still go to your account.
Why is this helpful? Let's say you want to sign up for a particular newsletter but you're afraid of spam. Then you can modify your email with the dots so in case you start getting unwanted messages, you can use Gmail filters and send every message your 'new' email receives to spam directly.
2. Find beautiful wallpapers in 10 seconds using Google Images
Nowadays it's VERY easy to find ANY type of wallpaper using Google images. Here's what you do:
- Go to Advanced Image Search
- Click on "Use my desktop size" button. Google will take your desktop size automatically! (previously you needed to do this manually using the imagesize: operator, plus manually enter the resolution.)
- From "Content types" select "photo content." I found the most beautiful wallpapers to be in this category (even when you search for celebrities, selecting 'photo content' instead of 'faces' will give you way better results.)
- Tell Google what type of wallpaper you want by typing some keywords next to "related toall of the words" option.
So here we go:
Many of the results come from wallpaper gallery sites. As you can see, this is so far the best way to browse wallpaper sites and find beautiful wallpapers with little effort.
3. A neat trick to find alternatives to all types of products using Google Search
Let's say you want to find some iPad alternatives. Sure, you can type "iPad alternatives" into Google search but you'll get mostly articles from tech sites and not opinions from people just like you.
Solution: Use the "better than [product]" query and you'll get way better alternatives. If you're looking for Firefox alternatives, write "better than Firefox", for Windows, "better than Windows" and for the iPad:
As you can see, you not only discover alternatives but alternatives that people think to bebetter. Pretty neat.
4. Search any video site like a pro using Google Video
Let's just say you're a big fun of MetaCafe.com. You want to learn German and use their internal search engine to find some videos this topic:
As you can see, you get very limited results. Also, several questions arise. How do they rank the videos? Are there any advanced options for searching (searching by video length and so on)? The answer is (for most video sites), no.
Solution? Google Video Advanced Search Page. Here you'll find one option called "Domain: Only return videos from the site or domain." Let's just use our example and enter metacafe.com
You'll notice after you click on "Search videos" that the results are usually:
- Way more relevant
- On the left, you can filter the videos by duration, quality and date. You can specify for example a date range so Google can return videos posted on MetaCafe from 1st to 30th March 2010. You can also specify to search videos longer than 10 minutes (I haven't yet seen any video site that offers this option.)
You can do this trick not only with Metacafe but with any other popular video site like Vimeo, DailyMotion or Hulu. All of them have very limited search functionality compared to Google Video.
5. Detect any unknown language using Google Language Detector
Solution: Take that text and put it into Google Language Detector. Results:
Another good way to detect and also translate is to use Google Translate and the "Detect Language" option:
This is very fast and accurate way to detect any language.
6. See what the French have been searching for recently using Google Insights
You can easily figure out what are the most popular search terms for any country (Google is the #1 search engines in most of the world's countries) by using one neat tool called Google Insights. Let's say I want to find what the French have been looking for recently:
Now, among other things you can see some strange words there like Jeux and "Le bon Coin." I later figured Jeux is a games site while Le bon Coin is something like eBay in French.

Defendant charged with Lewiston barbecue fork stabbing freed after victim refuses to testify
AUBURN, Maine (AP) � A Lewiston man facing up to 30 years in prison for allegedly stabbing his friend in the chest with a barbecue fork has been freed after the victim refused to testify against him in court.
In a move that surprised the entire courtroom, Vincent Turner on Monday invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Authorities say the 42-year-old Turner was stabbed in the chest by 43-year-old Tony Leonard during a drunken brawl in October. Prosecutors say the two-pronged barbecue fork penetrated so deeply into Turner's chest that it scraped his aorta and landed him in the hospital in critical condition.
The Sun Journal (http://bit.ly/12II0ex ) reports that after testifying Monday that he and Leonard were friends, Turner clammed up.
Leonard pleaded no contest to assault and was sentenced to time served.

Prairie farmers eagerly anticipate getting their crops into the ground each spring. A late spring this year dampened that enthusiasm somewhat, but fair weather has now enabled most of the crops to be planted in this part of the world. Farmers depend on their crops for their livelihood, and the world depends on a good crop for part of its food supply.
However a plentiful global food supply does not guarantee that people will have enough to eat. Millions of people go hungry every day – for a variety of reasons.
In general, according to a recent Pew Research Centre survey, nearly half the citizens in developing economies and a quarter (25 per cent) in emerging markets say that, at some point in 2012, they had been unable to afford the food their families needed.
Rich countries enjoy better access to food than do poor countries. In Australia, Canada and Germany - three of the richest countries surveyed in terms of 2012 GDP per capita - roughly one in 10 or fewer have struggled in the past year to afford food. Meanwhile, in Uganda, Kenya and Senegal - among the poorest countries surveyed - half or more say food for their family has been hard to come by.
A shocking finding was that the United States deviates from this pattern. Despite being the richest country in the survey, nearly a quarter of Americans (24 per cent) say they had trouble putting food on the table in the past 12 months. This puts them in a class closer to that of Indonesia or Greece rather than Britain or Canada.
The disparity in America is related to the uneven distribution of wealth among its citizens. From 2009 to 2011, the mean net worth of the upper seven per cent of American households rose by an estimated 28 per cent, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of newly released U.S. Census Bureau data. The lower 93 per cent dropped by four per cent.
More specifically, the mean wealth of the top eight million households in the affluent group rose to an estimated $3.2 million from an estimated $2.5 million; the mean wealth of the 111 million households in the less affluent group dropped to an estimated $134,000 from $140,000.
Another comparison shows that the 20 richest Americans made as much from their 2012 investments as the 47 million people who were helped by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP.
The Pew analysis notes: "These wide variances were driven by the fact that the stock and bond market rallied during the 2009 to 2011 period while the housing market remained flat."
Affluent households, it explains, typically have their assets concentrated in stocks and other financial holdings, while less affluent households typically have their wealth more heavily concentrated in the value of their home.
From 2009 to 2011, the Standard and Poor's Index (S&P) rose by 34 per cent, while the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index, a leading measure of U.S. residential real estate prices, fell by five per cent. That continues a steep decline in housing prices that began with the market crash in 2006.
Meanwhile, at a UN General Assembly meeting on sustainable development goals May 23, Archbishop Francis Chullikatt, permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, said worldwide hunger is an "ongoing scandal."
He called the lack of access to adequate food and nutrition "a moral and humanitarian crisis exacerbated by manmade policies and practices."
Manmade obstacles include a failure to provide access to markets for producers in developing countries, diverting food resources from consumption to energy production, waste of food resources in order to preserve higher market prices for producers and armed conflicts.
"Hunger is one of the world's most solvable problems," he said. He pointed out that "per capita food production has steadily risen and total world food production now exceeds what is needed to give every person sufficient food and nutrition."
Sufficient food, yes. But sufficient income and fair policies, no.

Athletic boosters maintain that there are as many lessons to be learned on the field as in the classroom. Yet the long-standing practice in Hamilton County Schools has left individuals and communities largely on their own when it comes to footing the bill for sports.
Take the cases of Soddy-Daisy High and East Hamilton Middle-High, some 25 years apart. For the past few years, parents have been raising money for a baseball field at East Hamilton Middle-High, where team members now must travel across the county for practice and games. Parents say the field and other athletic facilities should have been built along with the school, which opened in 2009.
"I just think schools should be built completely, and that includes athletic facilities. They're utilized every single day by kids. It's part of the school. It's part of the community," said East Hamilton parent Ashlie Henderson, who has worked for years to raise money for facilities and supplies.
"That should have been done from the beginning. To piecemeal it after the fact is almost impossible for anyone outside the government."
So far, East Hamilton has been waiting for four years. But schools have waited much longer.
It took nearly 30 years for Soddy-Daisy High School to get its softball field. The school opened in 1983; the field finally opened in 2010. The team had been practicing and playing at an off-school site and it was only after concerns were raised over possible gender inequality in -- and possible lawsuits over -- Soddy-Daisy's athletic facilities that the field was built.
Aside from county-provided supplemental pay for coaches, school communities get little in the way of financial support for athletics. The nine county commissioners will often designate portions of their $100,000 annual discretionary funds toward athletic facilities or equipment.
Other money for athletics comes mostly from community support, athlete fees or private fundraising. Concession stands, game ticket sales and coupon books help buy balls, helmets and other supplies. Football and baseball coaches mow their own fields, plant grass and paint lines before game day.
That patchwork of funding has left some schools with soggy fields or crumbling stadiums. The problems are often worse in poorer schools, yet even schools in the wealthiest areas struggle.
Collectively, the Hamilton County Schools system says it has about $400 million in deferred maintenance and school construction needs. With such mounting requirements for schools' academic spaces, athletic programs tend to get short shrift.
Yet while classroom needs have generally been put ahead of athletic ones, education officials say it's time to invest in fields, stadiums and gymnasiums.
"Our athletic facilities are aged," said school board Chairman Mike Evatt. "They need to be addressed before we have a major accident of some sort."
To address the growing problem, Evatt said he'll soon introduce a package of funding for sports upgrades worth several million dollars. He anticipates getting several million from the sale of the old Ooltewah Elementary building, which could go toward repairs or new athletic facilities.
Aside from liability concerns, Evatt said sports provide an important piece of the overall educational experience.
"I think athletics are very important to a student's growth," he said. "It teaches you discipline. It teaches you teamwork."
And as new schools are built, Superintendent Rick Smith said they should be built with the necessary fields, tracks and stadiums, rather than adding them piecemeal after construction. Such was the case at Red Bank Middle, which opened this fall on the campus of Red Bank High. It's the first middle or high school in years to be built with a complete set of athletic facilities.
"As we look to the future, I think we have to include outdoor facilities," Smith said. "We're past the point of relying on the community."
There are two basic problems with county athletic facilities: Schools have outdated, deteriorating facilities or they lack facilities altogether. The latter issue stems from a building strategy that for several decades has resulted funded schools, but left fields and stadiums to be built later or by community members.
"Going back historically for 30 years, there's been very little money spent on athletics unless it was a commissioner's discretionary money," said Gary Waters, who oversees the school system's facilities.
The heavy reliance on coaches, commissioners and community generosity has left vast inequalities among schools' athletic stadiums, gyms and practice facilities. While Soddy-Daisy waited nearly three decades to get a softball field, Signal Mountain Middle-High got a significant jump start, with many athletic facilities coming online with the school's 2008 opening. But even Signal Mountain had to add on after the fact, and the school is still awaiting some facilities. Now, the visiting football team uses a tent as a locker room.
Some of the county's most outdated athletic facilities are at the city's poorest schools, where donations are harder to come by.
The track at the Howard School is in such disrepair that the championship-winning track team can't practice on its home surface, yet alone compete. Tyner Academy's football field is notorious for its huge crest at midfield, and fans must walk over a grassy hill to get to the home stands. At Brainerd High, nearly all the athletic facilities -- the football field, track, press box, restrooms and the home and away bleachers -- are considered in need of replacement.
"There are some schools you go to and you can't believe it's a high school. The kids will walk onto a field and say, 'How can we play on this?'" said Central High baseball coach Glen Carter.
Of course there are exceptions. Howard's Henry W. Bowles Gymnasium is considered one of the nicest high school gyms in the county.
Carter said the county's maintenance crews are sometimes able to help make more complex repairs such as plumbing fixes. But the routine stuff is left in his hands. He takes money from concession sales, player fees and ticket sales to buy grass seed and fertilizer each year. He takes care of reseeding the baseball field, mowing and dragging the infield dirt.
"It's pretty much just me and any volunteers I can get," he said.
The Howard School is one step closer to getting its long-awaited replacement stadium. The city of Chattanooga will soon transfer ownership of the nearby former Poss Homes public housing complex to the school system. School officials have long eyed that site for a new football and track stadium to replace the crumbling, outdated facility being used now. Such a project is estimated to cost about $4 million. But with so many other athletic and academic needs across the school system, it's unclear what Howard's chances are of getting a new stadium.
Waters estimates the county has about $40 million in unmet athletic needs that run the gamut from crumbling tracks to crummy bleachers. Some schools are missing entire practice or game fields, like Sale Creek Middle-High, which just launched its football program but has no home field.
"It's just a typical lack of available funding to do what needs to be done," Waters said. "There's just a huge backlog of needed improvements."

Mike Piazza to appear in ballet
Could Mike Piazza be preparing for a second career as a ballet dancer?
The former Major League catcher and possible Hall-of-Famer will take the stage with the Miami City Ballet, according to multiple reports.
Piazza, who hit 427 home runs with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Florida Marlins and New York Mets, will play a gangster in the May 3 production of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue." He won't trade in catching gear for tights. He'll wear a 1920s-era costume, recite a few lines and then watch the performance from an onstage seat.
"He won't be dancing or catching any flying ballerinas, but he will be part of the action," Roberto Santiago, a spokesman for the ballet company, told the New York Daily News.
The turn is Piazza's gift to his 6-year-old daughter, Nicoletta, who is a student at Miami City Ballet School.
"It's going to be a lot of fun seeing the reaction of my two little girls," Piazza said in a statement. "For (Nicoletta) to have the opportunity to see Daddy on stage is my little gift. I'm looking forward to it."

User Manual:Setting up DVB-T (terrestrial)
DVB-T Theory
DVB-T stands for Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial. The scope of this article is to provide basic understanding of DVB-T and how to setup in Mythtv.
DVB-T signals are typically broadcasted by TV towers (like TV towers for analogue reception) on VHF and UHF frequencies over the air. DVB-T signals can be part of the VHF or UHF spectrum, co-existing next to analogue signals. However, many countries are switching these days to digital broadcasting and fully abandoning analogue TV broadcasting. Reasons for switching to digital broadcasting are better picture quality, lower transmitting power needed and the possiblities for Conditional Access (Pay-TV or legal rights) and HDTV.
DVB-T and DVB-S (Satellite) share in common many characteristics. They both share in common a transmitter broadcasting a signal through the air to an antenna/aerial, with bundles of channels (multiplexes) being transmitted by one or more transponders (a frequency on which can be tuned). So, if tuned to a specific frequency, it is possible to receive more than 1 channel on this specific frequency.
In contrast to satellite reception, it is not necessary to precisely aim a DVB-T antenna at a transmitter. DVB-T signals are all around and can be received using a simple indoor antenna (i.e. a vertical rod) when the transmitter is nearby, or a more sophisticated outdoor antenna in case the transmitter is remote. It is possible to receive DVB-T signals from a transmitter over a distance of 100 kilometer without problems.
Equipment needed
- A DVB-T tuner card or DVB-T USB device. Check out which cards or devices are supported by Linux ([1]).
- VHF or UHF antenna, depending on your local DVB-T signals. Small antennas for indoor use are only applicable when a transmitter is nearby. For long distance reception, a better outdoor antenna and possibly an amplifier are needed. The bigger the antenna, the better the reception will be. However, the antenna must be suitable for receiving the signals you want -- for example, using a VHF antenna for UHF signals won't give you the best results.
- RG6 Coaxial cable and shielded connectors. Good coaxial cable and shielded connectors improve reception dramatically.
- Optional: a VHF/UHF amplifier. An amplifier is mostly used to amplify the signal on the coaxial cable to have enough power for switches, etc. Poor reception from a small antenna will only be improved a little by an amplifier, because the weak signal along with the noise are both amplified, resulting into a strong but useless signal.
Note: Some DVB-T cards are capable of adding a 5 volt phantom voltage on the coaxial cable to feed a small amplifier which is integrated in some antennas. This voltage can be switched on or off by a jumper or by software settings. Check out your equipment if you need a phantom voltage.
Equipment setup
Horizontal or vertical orientation: DVB-T signals can be horizontally or vertically oriented. Check with your broadcaster since this may have impact on your antenna setup.
The setup for receiving DVB-T signals can be really simple:
DVB-T card or device --> Coaxial cable --> Antenna
More complex setups are also possible like:
DVB-T card or device --> Coaxial cable --> multiband amplifier --> VHF/UHF antenna
Or even more complex: DVB-S and DVB-T cards or devices --> coaxial cable --> Satellite diseqc switch with integrated terrestrial input --> multiband amplifier --> UHF antenna

The "Capture Cards" screen allows you to select your tuner device and scan for channels.
- Recording options lets you define options like maximum number of simultaneous recordings, tuning delay and the possibility to let the card scan for EIT data (electronic program data). Useful for Multirec.
- Some DVB/T cards need some time to tune. Start with the default settings, you can change this later if needed.
- Diseqc is not intended nor usable for DVB-T, you can ignore this.
- Note that if you use a CAM (Conditional Access Module) for Pay-TV, it might be impossible to record more than one stream simultaneous in a multiplex. This is limited by the CAM. Some experiments might be needed to find out what is possible for your situation.
Video Sources

Young Women Less Healthy Than Men Before Heart Attack: Study
Females tend to have more physical and mental problems prior to the event, researchers find
WEDNESDAY, May 15, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Among young heart attack victims, women often have more medical issues, more chest pain and worse quality of life before the event than men, a new study reveals.
The researchers, from the Yale School of Medicine, said young women also tend to have worse mental health with more physical limitations prior to their heart attacks.
The findings could help explain why young women often have worse outcomes than their male peers after a heart attack, said the researchers, who concluded that doctors should regularly assess young women's heart attack risk.
"Compared with young men, women under 55 are less likely to have heart attacks," study author Rachel Dreyer, a research fellow in cardiovascular medicine at Yale, said in an American Heart Association news release. "But when they do occur, women are more likely to have medical problems, poorer physical and mental functioning, more chest pain and a poorer quality of life in the month leading up to their heart attack."
The study involved nearly 3,000 women and men, aged 18 to 55, who participated in an international study of heart attack patients. The researchers questioned the participants to assess their chest pain and quality of life before their heart attack.
The study also revealed that the women were more likely than the men to have other conditions linked to heart disease, such as diabetes: 40 percent of women compared to just 27 percent of the men. Moreover, 55 percent of the women were obese, compared to 48 percent of the men.
Of the women, 6 percent had a history of stroke and 6 percent had heart failure. In contrast, 3 percent of men had a history of stroke, and 2 percent had heart failure. Meanwhile, 13 percent of women had renal failure and 49 percent suffered from depression. The researchers said only 9 percent of men had renal failure and just 24 percent were depressed.
"These data suggest that young women were suffering more from their heart disease than young men prior to their heart attack," Dreyer said.
"We need to develop better methods for recognizing and treating young women with chest pain to optimize their quality of life and potentially even prevent a heart attack," Dreyer said in the news release.
"General health and disease-specific health-status assessments are valuable tools for health care providers to measure the burden of disease on patients," she said. "These should be standardized into clinical practice, much like assessments for other traditional heart disease risk factors."
The study findings were scheduled to be presented Wednesday at the American Heart Association annual meeting in Baltimore. The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
