And a cool book that mentions Birdview:
Television's Pirates
The real story . . .
. . . covering 5 and a half decades of television's development written by the only person who could bring it all together in one coherent, factual, dramatic report covering 'little people' who made big (even huge) contributions to the technology. This 928 page analysis makes all of the pieces fit beginning with low power TV boosters installed by rural folks on hilltops near their homes in the 1950s to the totally current creation of broadcast-quality Internet video allowing virtually any location in the world to access essentially any television programming world-wide. Buried in these 56 years, the dramatic rise and subsequent failure of C-band TVRO (home dishes) revolving largely around a 1977 business plan conceptualised at Microwave Associates. Author Bob Cooper was 'there' as a participant while it all unfolded and his first-person narrative is riveting, pulling no punches, leaving no scallywag unturned.
