#Remote control out, change TV channels with mind LONDON: A new technology that reads brainwaves to allow users to change TV channels with their mind has been developed in the UK.
For its latest project, the BBC took a simple low-cost brainwave reading headset and, working with UK-based user experience studio This Place, created a`Mind Control TV'prototype.
It allows users to open an experimental version of BBC iplayer and select a TV programme to view,

#Growing number of Canadians cutting traditional television, CBC research shows A growing number of Canadians are ditching their traditional television subscriptions, according to a new CBC research report.
"meaning they had a television subscription and cancelled it.""With the prevalence of TV content on the internet and Netflix, Canadians are seeing less need to have a TV subscription,
"the report said. Sixteen per cent of Canadians don't pay for a traditional TV service, up from 12 per cent three years ago,
the report said.""We consider it a big jump, "said Mark Allen, senior director of corporate research at CBC/Radio-Canada in Ottawa."

#Wireless data delivery over active TV channels tested Rice university engineers have demonstrated the first system that allows wireless data transmissions over UHF channels during active TV broadcasts.
"Due to the popularity of cable, satellite and Internet TV, the UHF spectrum is one of the most underutilized portions of the wireless spectrum in the United states,
"In the U s.,TV broadcasters have been given preferential access to the UHF spectrum for more than 50 years.
If no TV broadcaster has laid claim to a UHF channel, the Federal Communications Commission allows secondary users to transmit wireless data on that channel,
provided that the transmissions do not interfere with TV broadcasts in any part of the UHF spectrum.
The rules governing this secondary access are referred often to as"TV white space"rules in reference to the industry term for used or blank portions of the TV spectrum."
According to a 2014 report by the TV rating company Nielsen, fewer than 10 percent of U s. households rely on over-the-air broadcasts for TV programming.
To demonstrate that wireless service providers could make use of the UHF spectrum without interfering with TV broadcasters,
Knightly and Rice graduate student Xu Zhang developed a technology called"Wi-fi in Active TV Channels,
WATCH requires no coordination with or changes to legacy TV transmitters. Instead TV signals are broadcast as normal
and the WATCH system actively monitors whenever a nearby TV is tuned to a channel to avoid interfering with reception.
The technology to allow this comes in two parts. One aspect of WATCH monitors TV broadcasts on a channel and uses sophisticated signal-canceling techniques to insert wireless data transmissions into the same channel;
that eliminates TV broadcasts from interfering with the super Wi-fi data signals being sent to computer users,
Knightly said. The other aspect of WATCH is dedicated to making certain that data transmissions do not interfere with TV reception;
this part of the technology would require TVS to report when they are being tuned to a UHF channel,
In practice, this could be accomplished with either smart TV remotes or next-generation TV SETS. In the tests at Rice, Zhang constructed a"smart-remote"app that reported
whenever a test television in the lab was tuned to a UHF channel. When that happened, the WATCH system automatically shifted its data transmissions to another part of the UHF spectrum that wasn't being used."
With WATCH in use, Knightly said it took a fraction of a second longer than normal to tune in a UHF TV broadcast on the test television.
