    SIXEL-TV 9000 - YouTube BBS Door

    Sixel-TV is now available to registered Jersey Jam BBS members!

    What is Sixel-TV you ask?

    A BBS door for Synchronet or Mystic on Windows. Users dial in
    with SyncTERM (or any other Sixel-capable terminal), search
    YouTube or paste a URL, and watch the video render inside an
    ANSI CRT-TV frame on their screen.

    Audio is served out-of-band via a tiny HTTP server built into
    the door -- the door shows the user a short URL that they open
    on their phone or a second browser tab, and MP3 audio streams
    there while the sixel video plays in their BBS window

    If you dont have a Sixel-capable terminal, the videos will
    not render and you will have a blank screen.

    Sixel-TV is located in the External Program (doors) menu.
