[vcf-midatlantic] TVs installed!

[Martin A Flynn]

I have a pair of BrightSign LS422 network digital players to experiment 
with.  Content is loaded to the local memory card via Ethernet.

If you connect a motion detector via the GPIO pins, it can change 
start/stop/ change content when someone walks up to the display.
