About Blippo+
Blippo+ is a live‑action, new‑wave TV simulator that lets you channel‑surf a chaotic broadcast planet. The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) hosts original soaps, sitcoms, news, weather, and talk shows that riff on forgotten corners of TV history such as pirate channels and public access.
While you watch, you can unlock data packettes, read the Femtofax videotext forums, and adjust extensive TV settings. A diverse alien cast and a Grammy‑nominated soundtrack by Rob Kieswetter and Jona Bechtolt of YACHT round out the quirky, immersive experience.
