  1. I've been following the Billy time games release of different sega channel stuff. I remember a friend having it through TWC when it was active and thought it was really cool.

    I hope more information comes out about the system setup specifically (like how out of band signaling was used if at all) so the service might actually be able to be recreated ala the way dreampi has allowed webtv to be "reactivated"

  2. So my question is - knowing that and looking at the marketing literature, is it possible to somehow recreate the signal to use on actual hardware.

    It's possible to RF modulate composite sources over coax for home cable systems (think blonder tongue gear or even consumer gear) - since it is combined to the 6Mhz signal somewhere along the line could one not pipe this signal into a coax cable and then into the hardware to recreate it?

    Am looking at setting up my own home analog CATV system and this would be the cherry on the cake. I guess the real question is what was the device expecting in that signal - what was being modulated out over the wire.
