[linux-dvb] Re: [OT] Reality
Hey,
I have 29 monitors in my office and on my desk, 18 displaying MPEG2 content,
sitting in a room with no windows. A 12 hour shift can get somewhat confusing,
for the first six months of shift work I didn't even know what day it was, when
I finally figured that out I realised I didn't know if it was day or night. Now
I think I know where and when I am, only problem is that I now sleep just 5
days a week...
Welcome to the world of DVB...
The amazing skill you do develop is being able to tell a channel is blocking
without even looking at the monitor stack, its a super human skill that
broadcast engineers develop.
Welcome to the world of DVB...
Also a phrase they say in broadcast engineering: "Your not a real engineer until
you've accidently taken network television off air." And I can tell you nearly
everyone I've met so far (including myself) can be called a *real* engineer. :)

By the way, I'm going to change my email address for posting, I'm closing this
very old account down. I think dvb@orbit.me.uk will be used from now on.

Just a note to say that as I was looking out of the window on the train home
yesterday evening, I saw lots of trees flash by very quickly, and I did
actually think for a moment that I could see some MPEG2 artefacts on the
window "probably caused by low bitrate"..
Oh dear. Is there any therapy available for this? :)
Cheers,
Gavin.
