Ch 11 Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine on N800...

If you haven't downloaded Streamtuner for your Nokia N800/810 Linux tablet,
yet, go get it. There are thousands of radio and television stations
available on Streamtuner in one place you'd have to really search to find
on the net.

My N800/OS2007 is Bluetooth connected to a MotoROKR Z6m SELLphone on Alltel
EVDO with DUN. While WADING through the various stations and other
interesting streams, tonight, I came upon Channel 11 TV stream from
Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine and have been watching it for nearly 2 hours, now.
MTV went off just before the news/weather/sports at 3AM Saturday morning
there and now we're watching "The Last Drop", an English movie about WW2
dubbed for local consumption, but I can hear the English behind the dub.
Great movie, by the way.

Streamtuner uses mplayer so you need to install mplayer from maemo, first,
so it can play the streams. While you're there, install the new OGG codec
because lots of the radio stations use OGG to avoid licensing something
else. OGG streams play first class on the tablet, even over Alltel's EVDO
data.

I may have sent a teen over the edge at Captain D's a while ago at dinner.
MTV was playing great on the tablet from Ukraine when this nice boy came to
my table to ask how I got it. He had an iPhone and told me he had lots of
trouble with it and was afraid of Jailbreaking it into a paperweight. When
I told him I got the N800 for $198 on sale off the net, he was amazed. He
was one of those brainwashed youth standing in the cold waiting for the ATT
store to open up so he could pay $600 retail for his iPhone. He did get a
rebate, but still...what a rip!

Well, back to the movie. One of our guys got shot. War is hell, you know.

How many MPAA laws am I breaking watching an English movie on Ukrainian
TV?? It's -4C in Dnipropetrovsk at 04:12AM....brrr.

Thanks, Nokia for a great little Linux box. It just keeps getting better'n
better....(c;
