Oliur gives an old TV the upgrade treatment
A television makeover follows his custom Apple HomeView build as daily channel views climb to more than six times their usual pace.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 315,225 views a day, 6.4 times a normal day (49,176).
I hacked my old TV to make it feel brand new.
Does a tech upgrade have to mean buying a replacement? Oliur / UltraLinx's latest upload starts with the television he already owns, promising to make it feel new rather than swap it out.
Posted on Wednesday, "I hacked my old TV to make it feel brand new." has drawn nearly 300,000 views. It is the most watched of his recent uploads, arriving as daily views across the channel run at more than six times their usual pace.
That is a change of emphasis from the iPhone accessories featured in our earlier story. His two October projects since then have put customization in the titles: first "Building my own custom Apple HomeView", then the old-TV makeover.
There is a familiar thread here despite the different hardware. Some of Oliur / UltraLinx's most-watched videos focus on getting more from existing tools, including iPhone camera settings and Apple Notes. The television project extends that practical streak beyond the phone and desk.
