Look guys, someone who thinks they're better than AK!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...gital-age.html

As interesting as this article is, it makes me bitter for some reason. First off, they say the set was "converted" to receive digital signals. What? You mean you hooked up a converter box? That's not converting the set, that's just plugging a box into it.

They also say the "experts" replaced 13 capacitors and the brightness knob. Wow! That's a lot of work for a 51 year old set! What experts! It must have taken forever to swap out 13 caps!

And they act like nobody's ever heard of a TV from 1957, it's officially the oldest TV ever "converted" to digital. This is the part of the article that gets me.

What do you guys think?
