I rarely listen to the radio. And watch a little TV. And not because there is no time, or there is nothing to listen to or see, but because it IS IMPOSSIBLE! Advertising rushing everywhere and everywhere, constantly, from all the cracks. After 5-10, a maximum of 15 minutes, any transmission on any channel is interrupted and complete chaos begins, and it is very loud, noisy, and unpleasant ... It is useless to deal with this, only the buttons on the remote controls will be erased. I understand that they don’t argue about tastes, but my answer to multimedia tycoons is very simple - I haven’t been listening to your advertising and music billiards for a long time, I made my own radio. And now I only listen to my music. The one that I love, and only the one that I like. And if this goes on with advertising (oh, how one wants to make a mistake), then perhaps soon I will do my own TV, give me only time ...
To create your own broadcasting within your home, apartment or garden need the following:
1. Any car FM modulator.
2. Charging from a mobile phone
3. Telescopic antenna from the receiver
4. Suitable housing
Many car enthusiasts use so-called FM modulators, such small transmitters that are inserted into the cigarette lighter and read MP3 files directly from a USB flash drive. And I have one in my car. A 16 gigabyte flash drive provides three days of non-repeating music, the one I like. I just listen to him on the road. Cassettes and CDs have already thrown everything away. There are many varieties of these modulators, but all of them are assembled in China practically according to the same scheme.
Somehow, on occasion, I got a couple of these burned-out FM modulators, and even a control panel in the kit. Under the appropriate mood, I decided to see what can be made of them. As it turned out, the power schemes burned out in them, apparently, the former owners somehow somehow or wrongly stuck them there. And the transmitters and microchips remained intact. We disassemble such a modulator, insert the board and USB connector with a 16 gigabyte USB flash drive into a suitable plastic box, fix it with hot glue, solder the antenna from the broken radio and connect the telephone power adapter. Everything, our radio is ready! The signal power of this transmitter is quite enough for coverage in a radius of up to 100m. Now in the garden, in the bathhouse, and in the garage and even with a neighbor - everywhere, in any radio at a frequency of 100, 4 MHz, good, unobtrusive and non-repeating music sounds round the clock, without any advertising.
The only difficulty is to choose the right broadcast frequency so that you do not inadvertently interfere with neighboring TVs. It is good that the microchip of the transmitter allows the remote control to selectively select frequencies from 88 to 108 MHz. Despite the fact that the transmitter power is only 10 milliwatts, you must configure it to a free section of the FM band, as well as not interfere with TV reception. Considering that, in the village of Okhlebinino, where I live, 14 channels of on-air TV, 25 channels of digital TV and about 12 radio stations are received, I calculated all their frequencies and set my frequency to 100.4 MHz, so that no second , not a third harmonic of my micro-transmitter didn’t bother anyone.
Now I’m thinking about independent television broadcasting within my own area (and if my neighbors are lucky). I have a TV modulator. It is also low-power, at 50 milliwatts, but after all, you can also solder the amplifier. It remains to connect it to a computer, upload it to a two-terabyte hard drive of movies and set up a streaming media player. And then sit on the couch and enjoy your favorite movie without ads. Yes, and torrents, by the way, too, no one has yet canceled ....
