System Enough Already off the TV sound with the appearance of the hated "stars" Bashny.Net

Each of us has its own media "nelyubimchiki." This can be a politician or a pop star, TV host and comedian, maybe - all of them together. And their constant flashing of the screen makes watching TV Going almost unbearable. Unless you use a clever novelty developed by Matt Richardson (Matt Richardson) - system Enough Already.

To create it, Richardson used the card Video Experimenter, which allows video signal processing - in this case, remove the TV signal from an NTSC closed captioning. This information is provided on the second component of the system, the hardware computing platform Arduino open-source software, which analyzes the subtitles in the presence of certain user-defined keywords. This may be the name of the policy or unloved stars, and perhaps a certain nabivshaya nauseam theme of news stories. Then Arduino commands the IR emitter, which acts like a normal remote control, turning off the TV sound for half a minute. If after this time the keyword is not repeated, the sound will automatically be turned on again.

Note that Enough Already - the system is open, the author does not claim seeking investors and preparation for sale. Instead, it publishes a complete set of instructions for its assembly (all components can be bought easily and inexpensively) and the necessary code. So that everyone can not only gather themselves something similar, but with different options to indulge its use - up to turn off the TV when a particularly nasty characters.
