Could you build this?
No Demodulating digital TV (DVB-T/ATSC) and radio signals via software-defined radio requires complex digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and RF hardware programming.
What it would actually take: The project requires C++ or Rust with SIMD optimizations, interfacing directly with SDR hardware (like HackRF via libhackrf) and implementing mathematical DSP pipelines (OFDM demodulation, Viterbi/LDPC decoding, synchronization, FEC). The hard part is processing raw I/Q samples in real time at high sample rates with minimal CPU overhead, along with MPEG-TS stream demuxing and AV decoding. It demands specialized expertise in RF engineering, telecommunications standards, and real-time DSP.
