[QUOTE="gridrunner-xy, post: 1135449, member: 417930"] Hello everyone, first up apologies for bumping this thread, but I needed some help with HackTV :) I've recently acquired a 405 Line TV, the first in a few years and my old Aurora 405 line converter is long gone. Googling around it became obvious that converters are now thin on the ground and £££, but I came across this cool project called HackTV and some Youtube evidence of it being successfully used as a 405 line converter - and I just happen to have a HackRF One in a drawer. I also have a couple of Raspberry Pi4s to hand as well. But, I don't have a Linux PC to hand and so I installed Raspian and the HackTV packages. The HackRF is connected via USB with an ANT500 aerial. The good news is that this setup worked on first try with the test card on 625 lines Pal. The bad news is that there's the most horrendous interference that's causing the test card to not lock and it sounds like a pneumatic drill is going on in the background that rocks the picture and the test tone. I've tried different USB cables, isolated all sources of RF in my shack and the problem persists on two different TVs. I've come to the conclusion that the Pis are the culprit, unless there's a fault on the SDR. I'd like to try it on my Windows 10 machine but I'm utterly stumped at how to compile it. Couple of questions - Has anyone any thoughts on the likely sources of the interference? And, can anyone share an up to date set of Windows binaries to try? Many thanks for any help! [/QUOTE]
