Dudes/Dudette!! Very good episode. The Parody was EXCELLENT!!! The TV mod is exactly what i have needed and I have been trying to think how to make it work. I had an “almost a geek” none 1337 way of doing it in the planning but i think i will scrap it and use your method.
ALOHA
ET
Just watched the show for the 1st time and I love it!
Keep it up, you’ve got me hooked now!
Doesn’t Load onto iPod via iTunes feed
So where is the link to the time-shifting hack for pandora?
Yea — I tried to convert it in iTunes via the “Convert for iPod” context menu and it crashes iTunes. Any ideas?
Yeah…in iTunes or QuickTime, the programs crashes around 6:00 into the video ( when “Participatory Culture Foundation” is mentioned).
Yeah the IPOD mp4 doesnt work at all on my computer.
Im going to convert the avi I think.
Im in Info systems class, on computer still counting 97 bottle of beer on the wall 98 bottles of beer take one down pass it around, 96 bottles of fosters on the wall. SIGH….will i ever get to watch this ep…i get home late 2 night gota stay back at school
:(:( cry’s in dark coner…..WHY!!!!!
Sida What do you mean? Im getting like 350kbs down on the avi.
I’ll re-encode the ipod video version. I really wish I had an ipod with video so I could test these before release. Sigh. 95 bottles of beer on the wall.

Hey guys great show. Awsome to see Alli again!
Any way of getting pandora timeshift link
Cheers
Great show guys. I was wondering why there were no new MicroShaft products this episode, until I saw GeekyBar.TV. LOL
good work guys. So next month with be GeekN? LOL
Can you please post the link to the pandora timeshifting hack?
Back in the day RF modulators only allowed you to switch between anteana and the composite input. Then they changed to auto-switching when a composite signal was detected. RF modulators have been off my radar since they started doing this, mixing the antena and modulated composite video.
My cable company has CSPAN and CSPAN-2 on channels 2 and 4. So the new style RF modulator should filter the incomming channel 2 or 4 signal and insert the composite video on that channel. That is much slicker than the old school modulators.
I looked into doing this a few years ago, at the time I either these rf modulators didn’t do this or I didn’t think they did. The other option was to get a device that does this but on a selectable high channel (like 88-99). It was more flexible, but cost $150-250.
Thanks for the tip this is awesome.
For IR back to the myth box or whatever, I have a home brew IR reciever. I wonder how long of a cat5 run I can get the serial signals to run over? I have cat5 in most spots where I have coax. So I could run lirc on serial over cat5 all throughout the house. I wonder if you can run multiple IR recievers on a single serial port by connecting them in parallel, as long as there is only one singal coming in it might work.
alright..now i am just rambling…you damn kids with your time shited rf modulated iptv!
how do you do the RF to the house cable with out busting open the cable box on your house?
Nice to see a segment on TV-Modulation. I was kind of hoping you would do what Perkins said above though; then again like Perkins also said those things [selectable tv modulators] aren’t cheap.
Though I look forward to what you will bring up next month to control the media center remotely. I can’t do RF because 1) Old house with lead paint and thick walls 2) Too much RF from the city (I was thinking of doing something with speech reg. over mobile radios–got some programming experience)
Keep up the good work!
Excellent show, as usual. Loved the Tiki Bar bit. See you next month.

Any programs that timeshift live365?
Another great episode. It’s time to ask if I can get H.5 put on the public access channel in Silicon Valley . .
I found the mdf for the cable at my apartment building several years ago, i’m buying an rf modulator to pipe out Hak5 throughout my apartment buildings
I would be willing to pitch in 5 bucks to help get a Hak.5 iPod 5G… just a thought. Darren if you put up a donation link for those of us who would be willing to give you guys a little gift and make our iTunes Hak.5 episodes work better.
HoodedRobin i mean that im at skool, which mean that my ass will get beating if i dl it there, yes even threw a proxy and encrypting, they monitor my downloaded usage:( the ep downloaded fast (at home), like in 20 mins
, just had 2 be at skool2 day, but its all good now:D:D:D home now gona watch the ep, 
:D remba
Seed them torrents
hey, great show! I wish there was more hacking physical things…. love the cable box deal! still looking for the Tiger disk to run on PC. anyway, loved the show. keep up the good work. I live in richmond, VA if you guys need any help making your show more nerdy. CYA!
below par!!
Started off quiet well, better safe this before fading.
All the best guys!!
That is a good idea on the donation for a iPod w/Video. Maybe keep a list of everyone who donates and draw a name to give a T-shit autgraphed by the whole crew as a prize. The 30Gig version is not that much and i think if we all pitch in we could make it happen.
loved the ending seems like sum one drank 99 fosters
Awesome work guys! I liked the spoof on tikibar tv.
YES… I can’t wait for next month. I’m pretty sure I mentioned doing a Geocashing segment in the forums (RIP) I’ve been waiting for someone out there in the IPTV world to do this.
Where’s the link to the pandora time-shifting program? The video says there will be a link to it, and people are asking for it, but it hasn’t shown up.
I neeeeeeeeeed that link. Please Post it here soon
Ditto here, waiting for the Pandora time-shifting program.
Another great show, thanks guys and thanks for bringing Ali back to the 640×480 screen
Interesting to see that that forum server’s SSL certificate is made out to ‘Snakeoil’. Seriously guys, start over. You’re in danger of losing your community…
I have searched all of google for the Pandora app with no luck. I hope to see it soon, it could really help me out on those long commutes
Seriously, why hasn’t the link been posted?

Here is an applescript that can be used to save files from pandora
you need to point to the the tmp folder “/private/tmp” create an alias
of it to access it easier.
select the track named WebKitPlugInStream…… with is a couple of MB and have safari opened on the pandora page.
careful they use preloading so the song playing is bot always the latest files in the tmp folder so you will have to wait to get the true filename that is in the tab as they have disabled the title in the webpage source.
There is probably ways to this better but at least you control what you save. Someone probably get an applescript that gets the id3 tag and make this even better.
enjoy
set chosenfile to choose file with prompt “Choose a document:”
property DEBUG : false
tell application “Safari”
activate
set windowName to my GetWindowName()
if DEBUG then display dialog windowName
my give_window_focus(windowName)
end tell
on give_window_focus(window_name)
tell application “System Events”
tell process “Safari”
perform action “AXRaise” of window named window_name
end tell
end tell
end give_window_focus
on GetWindowName()
tell application “Safari”
– I prefer to bookmark the tabs in just the front window:
return ((name of window 1) as string)
my give_window_focus(windowName)
end tell
end GetWindowName
tell application “Safari”
ignoring case
set theTitle to (name of window windowName)
end ignoring
end tell
tell application “Finder”
ignoring case
set name of chosenfile to (theTitle & “.mp3″)
set theFolder to choose folder with prompt “Pick folder to move the selected tracks to”
tell application “Finder”
try
move file chosenfile to theFolder
end try
end tell
end ignoring
end tell
So why haven’t we seen Erik the Intern in any of your segments. That’s just wrong.
Your show rocks. Keep up the great work.
