Anybody knows what program I can use to replicate the picture of a TV that has no reception. I'm talking about all the black and gray dots that are jumping around the screen, older TV always had them before you tuned the channels, new TVs offen replace it with a blue screen.

I have tried to see if I could recreate it useing PPro and AE, but I dont get anything thats good enough. :(

Rather than using a program, I tuned my PVR250 video card to an unused channel and recorded the noise. I resized, compressed and put it here.
Maybe you can use it. The original file was 720x480 and 23 megs, this is about 3 megs

Used the Sam Tech but recorded uncrompressed AVI on a Better Source Channel then edited and Converted to DV PAL File, Im Guessing you Use pal, If not it should still look fine, since it is captured off a square pixel source.

Its a 2 second clip, you can loop it, its seamless. here you go

Crusty and Karmatized thanks for the clips, 2 different types of snow, both very useful

grewell912 please do post a tutorial on how you did it, I tried also to create a black matte video clip, and add some noise, but I didn't get what I wanted, which was what karmatized video clip does.
