Each 10-40 minute episode focuses on a single topic. They cover topics such as: building a portable “war-spying box” to intercept and view signals from unencrypted wireless X10 cameras, building a
TiVo -like device using theopen source programMythTV , home-made audio/video cables that are comparable toMonster Cable s, and working with the open-source PBX, Asterisk. The show has also had special "Ecosystm" episodes that featured biofuel and thoughts on conserving electricity.Distribution

"Subsystm" is a project of the "Systm" crew, designed as a sidecar to the main show. When particular events happen, covered on "Systm", that pique the interests of the shows staff they may examine it further in a "Subsystm" episode. "Subsystm" is a shorter, much more technical exploration. The first episode featured an
iPod nano being opened up and the hardware examined. The second episode featured instructions on installingMac OS X on theApple TV . These are the only episodes that have currently been created. [ [http://revision3.com/subsystm/ Revision3 ] ]Episode list
