Short clips of the app running on real hardware — the live map, the aircraft cards,
the Apple TV big board, all fed by an antenna in a house rather than a cloud service.
Each one has a short summary and the words that are spoken in it.
An antenna in my attic hears every aircraft overhead. Overhead 1090 puts that feed on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV: live map, tap any plane for the details, every flight logged, rare catches flagged.

Every plane at the airport is talking, and almost nobody is listening. Overhead 1090 Explains, episode 1: what is ADS-B? Every airliner works out where it is from GPS and broadcasts it twice a second on 1090 MHz: call sign, position, altitude, speed. Air traffic control uses it where radar can't reach, pilots use it to see nearby traffic, and it isn't encrypted, so a small antenna at home can hear planes a couple hundred miles away. That's the hobby.
Every plane at this airport is talking. Right now. And almost nobody is listening. It's called ADS-B. Every airliner works out exactly where it is from GPS, then broadcasts it, twice a second, to anyone nearby. Call sign. Position. Altitude. Speed. All on one frequency: 1090 megahertz. Air traffic control uses it to track planes where radar can't reach, and pilots use it to see the traffic around them. And here's the fun part: it isn't encrypted, so a little antenna on your windowsill can hear planes a couple hundred miles away. That's the hobby. And that's why our app is called Overhead 1090.

"Last time: who's flying that. Today: how does your antenna end up on the TV?" Overhead 1090 Explains, episode 6. The little computer next to your antenna, a PiAware or any dump1090 receiver, decodes every plane it hears and shares it on your home network. Overhead 1090 on Apple TV just listens on that network: no account, no outside feed, nothing leaves the house. Point it at your PiAware once and every plane overhead is on the big screen.
