Radio discussion on NTSC shutdown & HDTVs

[compucat]

I really enjoyed that radio broadcast. Thanks for sharing it with us. Aren't MP3 files great? On Ebay right now there are ATSC set top boxes for sale for $150 that modulate the output signal to channel 3 or 4 just like a VCR. This is the first such box I've seen that has a modulated RF output. The price is a bit steep but it is just what I'm going to be looking for in 2009 for my vintage TVs. The boxes are made by Michley and the model line is called Tivax.

I hope by then digital improves. Most nights the digital stations have very inconsistent reception. I find the pixelation and freezes more annoying thatn the snow and ghosts of analog. At least I could watch through that. I often have to switch to the analog station to get through a one hour program. When that option is no longer available, I guess I'm going to have to install an outside aerial.
