Hello all,

Newbie here. So.... what happens to all the old broadcast equipment, such as PAL and MAC encoders? I have been looking for a MAC encoder for years but they best I could find was a couple of generators. Enough to revive an old decoder but not much more fun than that.

Someone has managed to write a Python script to create a MAC baseband signal and send it over to a decoder using HackRF, but it's not real time.

Any ideas?
