澳門公共天線的前世今生(一):引言、現有頻道來源

小時候一直記得兩件事情:大家都説翡翠台是1台,亞視是2台,但家中的電視的1台卻不是翡翠台;比起香港人,澳門人很幸福,有那麼多的電視台可看,而香港卻只有四台。即使是後來出現了數碼電視,也是澳門人因為公天公司比香港更快人人看到數碼電視,不用等待安裝發射站,甚至不用買機頂盒,因為公天公司早已準備好將數碼頻道轉為模擬相關資訊。這也導致當時我們一直不解81和85台分途廣播時的81, 85是什麼意思。

翡翠台與高清翡翠台分途廣播的提示。第一次看到這個畫面的時候我是感到非常疑惑的,電視機既沒有顯示81, 85台,高清翡翠台也沒有顯得比較高清,後來才知道我們在看的是公天公司轉換的模擬信號。連結: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykCAsTsplKw

既然本文是討論澳門的各間公天公司,上面兩件事情的原因也當然就是公天公司了。但爲什麼呢?在看完這系列文章後就會得到解答。

澳門公天公司在成立之初主要是因應香港無綫電視開播,幫助澳門市民接收來自香港的電視信號,以解決每家每戶都需要在大廈天台架設魚骨天線的煩惱,後來同時提供世界各地的電視台。本文正是討論在公天公司提供世界各地電視台,到達公共天線的服務質素的頂峰時,以及遇到來自澳門有線和各大版權持有人的官司,被迫大減頻道數量後繼續營運至今的各種事情,包括頻道的來源、技術探討、法律問題及本人的看法和對於未來的建議。希望可以將關於這個話題的零散歷史資料整合,補充相關的缺失資訊,方便人們瞭解的同時,也望能吸引到有相關資訊人士參加討論,讓各位澳門人更多瞭解澳門公天公司的更多事情。

We used to think that with the internet, we can simply do everything at home: work at home, study at home, socialize at home, etc.

But with covid we learned that this often does not work as well as meeting in person because the location you're in and having people around you matters.

But I am not convinced. Save for doing sports, bars, restaurants, and dates where physical contact matters, most of the time you do not have physical contact with others. Then we can just use virtual reality (VR) to simulate the location you are in, with people around you.

我中文維基百科的帳號剛剛超過1000次編輯了。

那麼重要的里程碑竟然是發生在編輯自己的用户頁的userbox,怎麼有點微妙的奇怪感。。。

This is why I prefer Linux

If you do not know yet, the Japanese standard computer keyboard has quite a few more keys than US/other European keyboards that we are used to. Whether there is a point doing so or not is a topic for another time (assuming I am knowledgeable enough to have a proper discussion), but one thing I know for sure[1] is that on Linux you can remap any keys on your keyboard to any other key supported by the system, meaning you could change those keys on the right side of the spacebar that you never use to something you might use! So I did what every reasonable person would do and spent 5 hours last night, from midnight to 5am figuring it out.

And then I can't use the Enter key anymore.

I mistyped 66 (Caps Lock) as 36 (Enter),,,

When you're feeling down, make a post (not story) on Instagram. People usually like your post when they see it, and you get a notification every time a person does it, kind of like telling you "you're doing great"!

On the other hand, when you post a story, people usually don't reply to people's story unless it's really good. So posting stories usually makes you feel sad because you think your content is not that great.

Or maybe just call someone, idk.

網誌啓用

在一六年四月左右開始發現免費域名的存在,立即註冊了的 fei0.tk 至今已經超過一年了。從最初用舊手機 (Galaxy Nexus) 鏈接 1Mbps 上載速度的寬頻,提供一個沒有內容的網頁,到現在有了 Raspberry Pi 和光纖上網,提供了電郵等其他服務(雖然沒有其他使用者),學會更多 Linux 的技巧,而網站仍然是一如既往的空白。

今年總是想着要爲網站增加點有意義的內容,而用網誌看來仍是最簡單直接的方式。今年暑假心血來潮,終於在安裝超過半年的 WordPress 上發表第一篇文章,希望有了開始,就會記得寫後續吧。

當然有沒有讀者是另一回事了(笑)
