Re: Randomness and TV cards
It won't be truly random. But it will be distributed over a range good enough for your apps. The point though, is that nothing is ever truly random.

White Noise on a tv set is 20% cosmic radiation signals, easily enough to base a seed value on. It would probably be better than using radioactive decay seeding.

You know those PCMCIA TV cards you can get, do you still need a separate arial for them or what?
Re: Randomness and TV cards
I saw "White Noise" the other night. It wasn't bad, dealt with the dead communicating with the living. Had a couple of good scenes in it.
The volume levels were terrible, though, except in the thrill scenes.
I'm sure I woke a few folks up, as I had to have the volume at 30 to hear the dialog, as opposed to 24 on normal movies in the middle of the night.

I dont know of any third party interaction but it must be possible in some way. You always need an arial for them :)

Yup ;)
I have a PCI TV Tuner. Wish it was digital though :(
To interface with them yuo need to tune it to a random frequency and capture the video stream yourself.
