Well, it was Raw until YouTube re-compressed the hell out of it. Seriously, I don't think you have any shot if you start off with this YouTube footage. If they really want help we need the actual raw bitstream. I/Q output from the receiver would be even better. Even better than that would be diversity receivers. Aren't those guys the rocket scientists?

If Reed Hastings knows these stats why don't we? Let's petition Netflix for an hour/month (or something) stat on your account. Expose it as an API call. Interesting value proposition to people, "look how many more hours you watch Netflix than Cable!". Also easy to automate finding those needing to be surgically removed from couches. (Ok, kidding about the last bit, but not anything else)

Submission + - Mega Finds New Home, Dotcom Says (paritynews.com)

hypnosec writes: Kim Dotcom has revealed that Megaupload’s successor Mega, which is reportedly launching on January 20, 2012, will be operating through a new domain name Mega.co.nz. Through a tweet Dotcom announced that Mega has found a new home and that the new domain name is protected by the law and powered by legality. Dotcom also revealed that lobbyists won't be able to do anything about this as Judges are not influenced by politics in New Zealand. Recent announcements about Mega’s domain – Me.ga didn’t go as planned following a decision by Government of Gabon to suspend the domain name. Dotcom had announced at the time that despite the blockage, Mega will launch as planned and that they are in possession of an alternative domain name.

Funny thing, it started out as the Prescribed Action Link, but the grunts didn't like that, so they were permitted instead :)
Can control yield and disable weapons, as well as authorize only specific targets in the case of an ICBM. So that new show 'Last Resort' where the rogue sub captain fires a nuclear warning shot into the Atlantic off the coast of DC. Yeah, that could never happen....
