Recently (ok, a long time ago), I have been thinking that it may be possible, to broadcast moving pictures in Minecraft 'over the air'.

This would involve the use of:
- A scoreboard system
- Redstone clocks
- /setblock

How this would work is that, at a 'Broadcast Station', they have operators switching broadcasts. What happens is that:
1. A button is pushed.
2. The button kickstarts a chain of /scoreboard command blocks. Each group of these command blocks means a frame on the broadcast.
3. The television, inside, has many redstone clocks and comparators (one for each pixel). The clocks are connected to /testfor command blocks, testing for a number on a certain 'channel' (objective). If the testfor succeeds, it will output to a comparator hooked up to a /setblock command block. There are lots of these. When the scoreboard objective changes, the pixel changes. Simple.

I could build it. But it would take too long and plus, I'm not a person who jumps at MCEdit like it's easy.
Tell me ways I could improve the concept, flaws, and many other things. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate it if you could build it and send it to me on PM.

Thank you.
