Fred Rogers dedicated his life to understanding childhood. He took that knowledge to the medium of television with his groundbreaking PBS series, “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”
Over more than 30 years Mister Rogers created a relationship with millions of children, each of whom felt like they were visiting with a trusted friend. Mister Rogers looked directly into the camera and sang and talked to each child watching. His radical kindness, acceptance, and empathy created a place that as TV Guide described: “… makes us, young and old alike, feel safe, cared for and valued… Wherever Mister Rogers is, so is sanctuary.”
Each “visit” starts with the donning of the sweater and sneakers signaling the transformation from Fred Rogers to Mister Rogers. That seemingly simple routine is part of a larger message and an invitation. The message: I care about you, no matter who you are and no matter what you can or cannot do. The invitation: Let’s spend this time together. We’ll build a relationship and talk and imagine and sing about things that matter to you.
Don’t be fooled by what appears on the surface to be a simple television show. There‘s a reason for everything Mister Rogers does, from taking off his jacket and putting on a sweater to using the Neighborhood Trolley to travel to Make-Believe.
Originally founded in 1962 as the National Instructional Television Library (NITL), AIT operated in Bloomington, Indiana for almost fifty years, creating educational television programming for National Educational Television (NET) and later PBS. The organization prided itself as leader in developing educational material for a television age and believed that evolving televisual technology could, according to one AIT catalogue, “complement traditional teaching by providing ‘field trips’ through time and space, demonstrations, and simulations.” A shift in emphasis from “television” to “technology” in 1984 marked the expansion of AIT to include development of instructional materials for computers and other technologies. The mission of AIT paralleled the various audio-visual instructional activities at Indiana University’s own Audio-Visual Center (AVC) and the NET Film Service, which, through a network of collaborative efforts, produced and distributed educational programming for nearly half a century.
Remember those surreal educational television shows that PBS used to air in the mornings? Those.
A CLI utility and Python module which, when given a language and a filename, goes out and tracks down subtitles for it.
It's in the Debian package repos but as a Python module only. You have to install it from Pypi if you want the CLI utility.
The documentation leaves much to be desired and the only way to find a sample config file is to poke around in the repo.
Another massive archive of subtitles for personal media.
Distinct from opensubtitles.org.
A massive archive of subtitles in over a dozen languages for personal media.

The Library of Congress and WGBH in Boston have embarked on a project to preserve for posterity the most significant public television and radio programs of the past 60 years: The American Archive of Public Broadcasting. The American people have made a huge investment in public radio and television over many decades, calculated at more than $10 billion. The American Archive will ensure that this rich source for American political, social, and cultural history and creativity will be saved and made available once again to future generations.
In August 2013, the Library and WGBH received a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to engage in the first phase of a long-term project to preserve public media. During this first phase, scheduled to end in September 2016, the Library and WGBH are overseeing the digitization of approximately 40,000 hours of programs selected by more than 100 public broadcasting stations throughout the nation. Dating from the 1940s to the 21st century and emanating from all regions of the nation, these programs will be available to scholars, researchers, educators, students, and the general public at the Library’s audiovisual research centers and at WGBH.

This is a fork of https://github.com/fsphil/hacktv with some additional features added. Most of them are those which I personally use, though not necessarily warrant inclusions into original source.
hacktv-gui is, as the name suggests, a GUI frontend application for hacktv. It allows you to run hacktv without the use of a command line. In addition, it includes playlist support, a handler for online teletext services, and support for any streaming video site which is compatible with yt-dlp. You can also save your settings to a file and reload them later.
OpenLGTV is a collective, non-commercial project for legal reverse engineering and research of LG (Smart and non Smart) TVs firmware, which is partially Open Source. The main goal of the project is to improve the functionality of the TVs by adding new features, fixing bugs and providing new software.

SamyGO is a project for legal reverse engineering and research on Samsung Television firmwares which is Open Sourced, partially. We try to fix problems that in the firmware. We don't want money from you. We make this modifications for us and ourself but you are allowed to join us.
(The recent set of Samsung TV Firmwares is based on Linux core (GPL), which our work will be building upon. Therefore all work done is in compliance with and subject to the GPL.)
SamyGo supports LED, LCD and Plasma TV models made by Samsung from 2009.

Do you remember Saturday nights in Pittsburgh? Do you remember "Chilly Billy" Bill Cardille and Channel 11's Saturday Late Show Chiller Theater? Chiller Theater was Pittsburgh's favorite place to see Horror, Fantasy, and Science-Fiction movies on television.
An archive of high-res images of classic BBC television and movie sets from just about every genre (including science fiction and Doctor Who).
We offer several resources here relating to over-the-air (OTA) broadcast services (TV, FM, and others). We have a variety of online tools, downloadable content, reference information, and discussion forums to help users learn, understand, and make informed decisions about the OTA services available to them.
The Signal Analysis Tool lets you enter a location by address or by coordinate, and optionally the height of an antenna above ground. It then runs 3D propagation models for the exact location and height and generates a "radar plot" report that summarizes the signal strength and direction of all the channels in the area.
We are a Quantum Leap wiki — created by fans, for fans. Our goal is to build the best resource about all things related to the Quantum Leap universe, including both the original series and the current revival!
I don't think it covers the series of post-television novels. It definitely doesn't cover the short-lived comic series.
