R.I.P. Analogue Television

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Today marks a sad and solemn day, the day the eldest child of the entertainment world, analogue television broadcasts, will be put to rest.

But guess what, its not all bad, we are livin’ in digital broadcast time now, in all its glory.

If you havent switched already or have no idea what I’m talkin’ about, crawl out from under that rock and mention DTV to anyone you meet. They will tell you how beautiful digital television broadcasts are. Its almost like having cable, without paying for cable… oh wait its just like that!

My house was moved over from analogue to digital when the government first announced the switch and were handing out 40$ coupons for converter boxes and I havent looked back.

Picture is better, sound is more crisp and even the air I breath feels cleaner as I know there are no longer analogue signals traveling across it…ok thats a little too far but really, the quality of digital over the air TV is pretty ;)

If your old tube tv no longer receives a signal, now you know why
