I'm the only guy watching over the air TV in a several hundred foot radius.
But since the interference is at it's worst during the day, well, it was just the final straw to turn the fecking thing OFF...
I complained to my Senators and Congresscritter about the turnoff of OTA TV and just got crappy form letters back that showed that their staff never even read past my first sentence.
Well, when they have to turn back on the transmitters, that'll fix their a$$#$... they'll understand about waking the sleeping giant.......
and the racial angle is interesting.... works better than the poor angle...
and as to the issue of standard video going through the digital compression that mucks up the experience....
It will spawn a new breed, call em VideoPhiles, but some of them will already be AudioPhiles.... and AKers to boot!! 
And anything that can handle an Analog video signal will be a collectors item!!! |
Well, (the Race Card) seems to have worked all or most of the time. Dunno about the Poor Card though. I know if my maternal grandmother was alive right now, she would put up a huge fit of not being able to watch "her stories" on her 1962 (no UHF tuner) RCA B&W TV. I think it was a 17 incher. I remember she said a long time ago that when she passes on, I would get it, but I did not. Wish I did have it, right now, I have my Playstation hooked up to a 9 inch Sony B&W from 1966, even though her TV is black and white, at least the picture would be bigger.
I currently have my 1998 19 inch Zenith color on top of the 1982 Zenith 25 inch in case if we have the red screen problem again until I can score the part. It is weird though, it can come in the next 10 minutes or 10 months, we turn it off for a week or so and watch it again, rinse, repeat.
