Post by jps »

We all know that in February '09 we will have no more analog TV transmission, so watch this and learn!

Where'd they get that video of me? ...Nah, it couldn't be; I haven't owned a TV since 1989. :lol:

You mean they are changing the TV to digital? I haven't heard anything about it!
Note my sarcasm, please.

They have CRAWLS on the bottom of the screen here DURING SHOWS to warn us that we have 4 months left to get ready.

I only remember hearing something about it a couple of years ago. I don't hate TV but I just seldom seem to find them turned on around me. Good thing, I get sucked in too easily. I'm just as happy with the TV in my head :lol:

What? They're changing TV? They're telling us all about it on the TV during shows? Hmm, I haven't seen anything about it. Of course, I haven't watched TV for over 20 years, so I'm guessing it won't have a big effect on my evenings...

...it will the day you decide to turn yours on, assuming you still have that old tubed, b&w TV set with those rabbit ears on it.
