Great documentation of an end to an era! Fun video. Hang in there Tavis! I couldn't help thinking there is absolutely nothing I miss about analog NTSC TV. Loving the current high resolution technologies.
That's awesome, that you had 3 different TV's set up for this! And the top left one actually played the national anthem one last time? Wish I could have been there. I'm in San Diego, where 4 channels shut off their analog, but I only had 1 antenna TV so I only got to watch one of them go off.
... so sad .. i used to love falling asleep to the sign off's and found them to be patriotic ... i can't help but give analog tv some human qualities to it ... it wasn't perfect and was fuzzy just like like my head would be waking up in the middle of the night with a hangover ... bye analog tv! ...
A nice historical farewell, you did record with your three TVs - thank you for upload ! Did the station on the third TV finally close down? 5* and greetings from Germany ! M.
ang galeng naman!!! naapektuhan din sila Mandy Moore jan sa orlando, florida ng analog-to-digital switchover, kaya sina Mandy Moore ay nanonood na sila ng Digital TV!!!

(@syanarasucka) The snow will be gone if you have cable, satellite, or watch over-the-air TV with an analog to digital converter box or with a digital TV. Otherwise, all you will see is snow on all channels once they shut off their analog signals.
It might be now difficult to rip off shows from digital TV, since they might now have the digital watermarking codes that prevent the copying of movies, shows, and whatnot. Big Gov't + Business = I'm heading to the wilderness with a bag and a rifle, and call it quits for today's society.
Yeah, an immense mess of multipath! I doubt it would be watchable in digital (unless the antenna were deliberately pointed in a direction which assured multipath, to assure the digital signal would be useless).

1:47 WOW,What is happening with the third TV
Great documentation of an end to an era! Fun video. Hang in there Tavis! I couldn't help thinking there is absolutely nothing I miss about analog NTSC TV. Loving the current high resolution technologies.
I remember when Analog TV ended here. The 1st time in years I saw the National Anthem played on TV since I was a teenager

Such an historical moment.

It didn't affect me because I had satellite TV, but it was refreshing to hear the National Anthem on TV again after 20 odd years.
how come the TV on the bottom was still working? i dont watch analog antenna TV i have cable so im set.
It's like watching a piece a paper burn at all 4 corners.
Pretty crazy stuff. They really did just pull the plug on that PBS station.
What's the ch26 that came in after local Univision shut off?
June 12 2009 is the day most transmissions of analog are off the air.
will the tv snow disappear when they switch to digital on june 12?

what do we do with these old TVs now? do recycle them, if so where?
do we sell em' to some person on eBay? (last resort)
+Justin R Just get a DTA and a new antenna if needed to get digital channels, or use them for old game consoles!
Take them to the philippines and let them use the TVs for videoke machines
You're right about that. Big Brother and Big Business at work.
you really nailed it on the head there :)

The DTV transition shouldn't be mandatory. I like DTV, my household is ready, but there should be freedom of choice to view analog.

the law was to cut to low power not kill it entirely thats why that one came back on.
It called "Death of the analog".
Goodnight sweet prince.
Analogue TV lost early in 80's it's served public.
1:20 be more pbs
