If he is using antennas to receive ATSC signals, again I hardly believe he has 70-plus converter boxes on all his sets. I think he must use a VCR or DVD player on these old sets, although, again, I wonder how he manages to split the signal from one RF modulator 70 ways.
I had always assumed that Doug didn't watch 70+ TV sets at once, as I would think the 20,000+ watts of power required for that would be an even bigger problem than signal degradation at the end of the line.

But you know what happens when you assume...
