Bastard Sons of Dial-Up (also known as BSoD TV) is a tech show started in 2006. It is believed that the original concept was created by Ilya as an open show, allowing submissions from the community. The show has been spearheaded by Foxx and Mustang, though episodes feature segments from dozens of users. Episodes of BSoD can be considered thorough and highly technical. There is very little glossing over details, and little hand-holding. While the show is still labeled as in production, it has not had a new episode since September of 2009.

Synopsis
Episodes are released on the first Friday of every month. BSoD is also in collaboration with http://www.techcentric.org/ also to form the Lost Carrier IRC network at http://www.lostcarrier.net/If you didnt already know, BSoD is the first ever Open Source IPTV show, for hackers, by hackers. The open IPTV ideal is to create an online community of technophiles and hackers to collaborate with online tutorials to answer questions and start to insight on topics that newcomers ask. As an online community we can share our tech talents and electronic gifts to inspire the next generation to come, or to collaborate efforts in projects where one individual couldnlt aspire such feats on a lone path.
We all share a non-criminal, non-egotistical, demeanor. Fanboys, haxx0rz, n00b pwning and things of the such are greatly shunned and disrespected in the BSoD Community. We are here to learn, and teach, morals are not one of them, however we will not fuel the media hype of criminal hacking. We will not put the right tools in the wrong hands. BSoD was created to attempt to put a good term to the defined hackers of the next wave.
BSoD understands that a lot of people want to be a super famous leet haxx0rz, fame, money, sexy bitches... We have no idea what you have been smoking, but you should lay off the bong there a bit buck'o. Many of us come back from the early days of computing, hence the name of the show, Bastard Sons of Dial-Up. We came from a time where there was no broadband, getting connected in itself was an accomplishment. Finding someone to learn from was even harder of a task. Text files and ASCII schematics were all we had. Now we live in a day of multimedia, streaming video, live voice chat with a worldwide community. The connection is there, but the content is lacking. BSoD sacrifices video quality for content quality. Its not about looking good, pretending to be smart, or thinking you have all the answers. BSoD is about teaching those with a desire to learn, and share your gifts with those who can make use of your time and talents.
Welcome to our world, the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of baud.
Many thanks and much appreciation to everyone involved. IRC, Forums, real life friends and family, those that make segments, or just ask a good question. Without yearning minds looking for something inspiring, and those that have something to share with them, BSoD would never be possible. Lets continue to keep it real!

Episode 26
Fri, 11/07/2008
Ahhh, the long awaited Episode 26. Cold and rain have hit the east coast pretty hard, keeping a lot of us from going out to do out segments, Personally I wanted to do the last 2.4Ghz Wireless segment all in field, but I havent been able to get out long enough to record. Also, my camera took a total shit on me, so the long wait is totally my fault. We got together for a meetup in hopes that we could all get some cool footage done, just to find out my cam would not read/write to the DV deck. Oh well.
This episode brings you a nifty tutorial on getting the Playstation 2 EyeToy USB Cam working on a computer, although the segment is for Windows, it will work under OSX and Linux. Ugster shows Orb, a kick ass media streaming program for windows that lets you send out your movies, music, even live TV out to anything that can connect to the internet. Watching TV on the smartphone... bad ass. Mustang makes a USB mass storage box that is a "Digital historian's" wet dream, I love the pirate fan grills. great touch! The last 2.4ghz Wireless Scanning Tips and Techniques segment airs as well. With a lot of good information on how to use the 2.4Ghz gear we have been building over the past year. Check the shownotes on the forums! There is more than what was put into the show, I have some small 'Extra Features' with more detailed info about some of the extra stuff never shown on the show. This isnt the last of 2.4Ghz, as always your questions, comments, and queries can bring more 2.4Ghz stuff back in action. The minions and misfits like to do a lot of radio scanning with me, so expect some side segments and extra features in the future, but not as segments in the show itself.
If you do go out and about for some ol' techno-terror in the wireless wilderness, record or blog it. Lets see what you have learned over the past two years of BSoD, but remember, we do NOT condone criminal hacking. We dont mind stepping on some toes or in the gray areas, but don't show us how you DDoS Wifi with MDK3 deauth' attacks, steal passwords and files from open WiFi, or "break" into peoples open Access points!

We are finally back on track with a new episode! Sorry for the long delay but we have all been a bit busy, broken, and bored. We will try to keep on the steady releases but it just seems the electron gods absolutely hate us. This episode brings some new topics, and we will be introducing some more in a crazy mix, but in the end you will see how it all falls into place.

Whee!! Episode 28 hit the ground running, and much like all things that hit the ground while trying to run, it promptly face-planted. Whelp, with all of that aside, BSoD shamelessly brings you some more Firmware hacks with the CHDK upgrade for canon Powershot cameras, GPS Solutions for the hopelessly lost or generally curious, a tutorial on an electronics enthusiasts best friend Mr. Multimeter, and some more Ham Radio stuff with an introduction and live demonstration of Repeaters.
BSoD is always proudly here to bring you the topics and subjects you choose to see and produce. Many thanks to all those involved, from those on IRC and Forums bringing new topics into the chat, all the way down to the jackass that sits in front of a camera polluting the show with their ugly face and foul language *Foxx*. We will continue with Ham Radio segments as requested, so pop on IRC and Forums if you have questions, comments, or can lend a hand. We dont have full access to the entire Ham Radio Spectrum, its an expensive hobby to begin with, so if you are a Ham and a BSoD'er pop on by and let us know if you can offer your time and talents. Remember, BSoD is Open-IPTV. For the people, by the people...

This episode goes a little farther into the ideals of firmware mods and hacks with DVD Player Region Unlocking, mustang covers some must-have applications for the G1 Android, Usgter and Foxx showcase 2D Cypher systems and create a new form of urban information warfare called Glyph Tagging. We are still doing radio projects slowly gearing into ham, but with how much gear costs, Foxx does some mods to cheap FRS (PMR) radios to sport an antenna jack so we can start safely playing with antenna designs without having to break the bank on expensive gear.
Shownotes will be late due to a busy week for us, sorry. Those of you whom frequent IRC know the reasons why, hopefully all will be sorted out today and the shownotes will be up by the weekend.

Quick, grab it,before it runs back under the entertainment center!! SON OF A BITCH! Now we have to get a stick and poke it in face until it scurrys back out. What a Dickbag...
Sorry for the late release, we all had a very bad case of Life.
This episode I get more into firmware hacks using my Dell Axim X51v, explaining the basics of using a PDAs onboard flash utility to get a non-crap OS on your PDA. Please check the shownotes! There is a lot I couldnt cover because of time constraints. Ophidian shows us how to make a universal dipole base thats very hands for any ham. I get into what serial ports and communications are, but again ran into the time limit wall, so expect more in the next episode. This segment will be very important later on, so try and pay attention! UberarchAngel gets into what overclocking is. This is the first installment of his multi-part series of segments, so stay tuned. Same BSoD time (we hope), same BSoD Channel.

Fri, 07/03/2009
We never get a break! So it seems www.FileDump.BSoDtv.org was hit so hard this release that the PHP script that was running to make the main page look pretty used up so much resources it was killing downloads for everyone. Fortunately the issue has been resolved by removing the glam' completely, so if you dont like the look of a bland file listing, blow it out of your ass. Be happy its working!
This shows that BSoD is really growing, unfortunately we are not seeing as much viewer feedback as we would like. As much as we try to keep reminding you, this is an OPEN SOURCE SHOW. Content in every episode is completely dynamic to the topics that interest the community as a whole, and is also provided by them. Hop on IRC or the forums and speak your mind. The only stupid question is the serious one that was never asked...
Foxx continues a breakdown of serial communications with the the software side of interfacing into some hardware, showcasing how some devices can be controlled from a very simple serial terminal. Mustang pops in and out of satellite lock with some nifty or flat-out must have GPS apps for the G1. The Wireless Warrior Foxx yet again rampages us with some antenna design, cramming the J-Pole in our face. Nixx brings us a well covered firmware hacking segment with the HTC Touch Pro, going deeper into explaining exactly what IPL, SPL, HardPL is, how it effects the device and other information pertaining to firmware hacking HTC (or damn near any) devices. Tommy, a well seasoned ham radio operator meets an untimely and unexpected interview with us and tells us a little bit about what attracted him to the hobby, some insight to the Ham Radio community, and how he quite literally owes his life two-fold to it. Never knew a ham radio could be used as a real life 1-Up!

Episode 33
Thu, 09/03/2009
Well boys, girls, and things in between, its that time again. No, not a visit from Aunt Flo'. Time for a release. This month we bring you more antenna stuff with the Double Zepp Antenna, a fairly easy and diverse antenna for your (ham) radio. Uber' gives us a rundown about the hardware side of overclocking. Although its a very generalized segment, even if you dont care for overclocking this segment does a good job explaining how a computer is actually put together, and how it works, also why proper cooling and reliable components can save you hours of headaches in the long run.
Unfortunately Foxx dropped the ball a few episodes back and forgot to air his NES Repair segment, so it will make its debut in this episode. After this segment... you WILL get your NES back to life. If you cant, then its an issue well beyond repair. Be sure to check the shownotes for more information regarding tips, techniques, and little nuances that can help you further understand the steps showcased, and some shortcuts into finding critical issues.
If you have no clue about what Linux/Unix really is there is a nice little explanation of its history, and roundabout of why it has made a very big impact on the different tech cultures on the internet. If you are already well versed in what Unix and Linux is, bear with us and watch it anyways... and add onto the shownotes. I (Foxx) do not take any credit for this segment, as its clips from various pre-existing videos, and a little more added on at the end to clear up some misconceptions. Please, if you are linux savvy feel free to amend onto the shownotes to fill in the gaps. In fact, everyone is encouraged to add on to the shownotes to make them more detailed in general.
BSoD is about a community all helping out with providing accurate information for everyone that wants to learn, so get of the bench and into the game already!

Episode 34, holy hell! Foxx continues with antenna design showcasing how to design and build Yagi Antennas. Uber' shows us more about overclocking, and some software that can help tweak your settings to perfection, or detonation. Even if you dont give a rats ass about overclocking, again Uber's segments explain how computers work. This also contains information on how to troubleshoot issues, so try not to skip it. Mustang grabs his Asus EEE by the gonad and turns it into a less crippled bitch by circumsizing Xandros, adding a few inches to its capabilities. Ugster follows up on last months 'What Is Linux segment' with some Live Linux Distros you can download (for free) and try without having to install them to your hard drive. Now you have no excuse to try out Linux. Since they dont install to the hard drive, nothing can really break, and you wont loose your current Operating System and personal files. Check the shownotes for more info on what each distro has for features, and where to download from.
