I have been searching for the major programming language of televisions to no avail. I want to make a simple program for a television (any brand would make me happy) to display things, control the volumn, change input. I know televisions come with sufficient programs but I want to make my own. Is it a lower language like assembly, or HDL?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
If its not likely to get the original programming information can someone point me in the direction to output television processes for evaluation? I would like to atleast take the television processes and dublicate them so I can possibly edit and override them into a different computing device.
I have an LG TV with a serial port on the back (yes, really!), and documentation for using it (for changing the channel etc) in the PDF manual on the CD. I also came with a complete set of printed on A2 paper schematics. I admit I was somewhat amazed when I found them in the box! I've seen nothing like it before or since though :(
I think the answer in general is "no".
Changing channel, volume, could be achieved by emulating the remote-control though - you could ask on electronics.se for help with that sort of task.
