The analogue tv broadcasting thing was converted to digital so you need a converter box now. They gobbled up that part of the spectrum. So analogue tv's can't pick up anything anymore.
I bought one of these dirt cheap conversion boxes for my garage CRT... they are amazing. You hook up one of those cheap plastic antennas you tape to the window and enjoy old movie bliss on MeTV. The one I have also has a built in dvr, so you can record straight off the OTA feed if you connect a thumb drive. Best garage tv hookup in the neighborhood.
😄Thank GOD!!! This is EXACTLY what my husband and I needed to lift our spirits, with all this rediculous nonsense going on right now! Thank you Bithead1000, your channel is a treasure!
I was about to make this same comment, this is EXACTLY what the people need. No matter who's president, Bithead1000 will be there. Hmm well maybe, Sleepy Joe and his croons will get anyone entertaining deplatformed and banned. So entertainment like this will get more and more censored.
i was dying laughing when you did the impression of the guy hanging onto the railing chiefing cigarettes and yelling at the dog. I swear when i watch these videos and hear your stories its almost like your some sort of time traveler living in a alternate dimension of reality, talking back to us normal folks with the absolute insanity that is NY
Man, I went to an industrial surplus warehouse a few weeks ago, saw some cool stuff... left with a server rack that I can stand inside (with a totally separate rolling base that has nothing to do with it, but it was included, as was the pull out 2U shelf with storage... which was sticking out halfway, off it's guide rails, which I later fixed) and a tiny CRT TV (it must have been for some weird application, because it only has like a BNC and S-Video input... they threw it in for a couple bucks 👍). Great day, other than tearing a huge gash into the ceiling of my SUV loading it in... but, that would fall under the "Utility" category, I would assume. Screw it, gotta earn it's keep and justify the slightly higher gas consumption sometimes.
I love the fact then when you opened the wine bottle, it hit the game station and make the SD Card pop out. Thats just the natural chaos that happens all the time. If you would try that on purpose,it will never happen!!!
I need to send you a package of goodies i hope you'll receive it in time this time and not be called by the post office to get it right now or "it goes back today" 😂😂😂😂
My grandpa had that same mini tv and he had a magnifier that attached to the screen I thought it was the coolest thing when I was a kid. He just got put into a home a few weeks ago and all his stuff was sold and I've been pretty upset over it but seeing that tv reminded me of some good memories I forgot about.
Even digital signal to analog converter boxes have probably gone the way of the dodo by now. Funny how far we've come in such a relatively short amount of time.
Just buy a digital off Amazon...I got one for 12 bucks works good, gets around 50 channels...nothing good on TV anyway nowdays. That's why were all watching BitHead!
Plug a console to that tv :) The good old days, where we didn't take things for granted. Just getting a little tv was a huge deal for all the family, not for one day but for years.
Glad the Burnarj wine cork ,did not fuck up your game station. Can't wait for the tortureing people on the CB radio. You can tell how much you liked my wine at 1:02:11. lol
My wife was laughing when I showed her you talking about your sons nick names. 😂 I call my 1 year old so many names and she never knew other guys did this. Hahahaha! We got, Mongos, Munch, Bongo, Bongo Malone, Marconi Capone, Monch, Smonch, etc. I think I've called him Christopher like twice.
CBs..... yet another thing we have in common from our childhood. Realistic 23 channel base station with an 18' antenna when I was 14/15. Lived in an apartment complex and got so many complaints about coming through TVs and cordless phones they made me take it down. Haha. Had a bearcat scanner that I would scan cordless phone freqs and listen to neighbors convos. Hahaha. Bringing back memories brother!! Great vid, I put your package in the mail today I promised back in April. I'm just getting caught up round here.
Growing up I had the CB base station, and a police scanner. Mine was modified with side-band and a in-line amplifier. We'd talk over people's home stereos and TVs all the time. The neighbors couldn't stand it. Funny you mentioned the police scanner. We had a Bearcat digital scanner. Living next to an apartment complex, we realized we can program in cordless phone frequencies and sweep from 46.61 - 46.97 mhz. It would pick up people's cordless phones and we'd listen to all sorts of dirt. Wild times man. I still got some of my childhood Johnson base stations in storage.
When i was 10 years old trick or treating some older big kids knocked me down and took my bag of candy. Lmao. But then all the other kids heard so they came by my place and dropped off some of theres to me. I ended up with even more candy then before. Hahaha
I bet that tv wasnt sure if anyone would ever turn it on again. At least we know it works. Last time I checked 2 years ago there was only 1 channel left. RC Pro Am is the BEST. I had it for Nintendo growing up. Was just playing it for Genesis the other day. Only difference is the antenna blows back in the wind. ;) 16 BIT
You know the dollar store sells d batteries, 2 packs, so would cost you like ten bux, especially since its obviously only to play around lol, but hey you dont need your yardsale license revoked, stuff like this is what garage sales are all about my man
Better call in Dana Scully. Potential Alien Signal or Poltergeist activity on that TV! Might need to check out this Bithead 1000 guy also. Re Open the X-Files!
Looks like you could've bought a $2 power cable for that bad boy TV but the D batteries were good for a laugh. Time to bust out that heater ya got last year so your hands don't fall off.
I wish local channels could still be picked up via analog. Digital blows! I have more issues with local channels coming in over a digital signal than back in the day over the airway.
Halloween was the best day in the 80s and it was still rad this year lighting fireworks and visited my local Arcade played Donkey Kong Spooky, we did some crazy shit back in the day like hose in the mailbox etc etc
You could use that tv for a prank; just sit there watching static when your wife walks in the room and act real nonchalant about it :P that’s a really awesome find. I’ve got a similar tv that has a/v input so I can hook up game systems to it!
I don't know why I watch. There's no redeemable value and I'll be on my death bed, gasping for air, wanting all this wasted time back because I never miss an episode of "TGVGPITHOHCAYBBTWA4KF!!!" Now that's a fucking t-shirt! Your welcome!
Well ain't that somethin'. I was just going over BH1K sayings in my mind, in that good ol' Long Island accent while, while I was at work today. Not sure if that's how crackheads feel, lookin' for their next fix, but I was getting worried the show was going into MIA protocol. After another shit job at work, I come home to my surprise. I gotta go get a coffee and chill out for this one. I'm in! You're in! We're all in!
OK, so who else had their fingers crossed that the TV would not only work but pick up some Matrix type transmission? Just me...fine. Sweet pickings from the garage/yaaaaard sales this week and you definitely have the luck with the electronics that work first time BH 🤨👌🏻 I can't wait for the "Baker" to start transmitting and terrifying the airwaves again with that CB, that will be comedy gold 😄 Anyways, another smooth episode brother, keep on sippin' 🥃👌🏻
I think they sold those analog TV frequencies so they could bring you 5g, so you were kinda right. Wish it had an input so you could do a picture picture on that relic.
If you get a nice sdr transmitter you can output to the analog tv signals. I imagine it goes against fcc regulations, but if the signal is weak they'll never know.
My son's nickname is 'Mouse'. Real name is Thomas but we've always called him mouse. Ironic as he's 13 years old, nearly 6 feet tall and has biceps like Berry DeMay.
Haha! Funny you bring that up Jesse, I had a similar thing happen to me with the CB. We were in my buddies dad's truck messing around on the CB, long story short we got boxed in by Truckers on the highway who found out our position, we never did that again! Needless to say it could've got ugly but they found the humor in it and let us off with a warning.
I love the game solar striker for the GB and the music for it too. One of my first shmups! RC Pro am was one of my fav NES games as a kid and still is. Btw I do not believe anything is broadcast in SD that the tv could pick up anymore but you could use it for a line in if it has that.
You should do something interesting with the "with a 4k face" outro. Like say it in pig latin or spanish or backwards/mirrored/reversed. Might be funny just to keep people on there toes, lol
RC Pro Am 2 is my shit. My dad had it and it was the first game I played as a kid. He had a top loader with some heavy hitters and I sold them in like 2004
Christmas spectacular right around the corner!!!
Best show on UA-cam. Sip a coffee for Yessie and Brutus!
BRUTUS!
The analogue tv broadcasting thing was converted to digital so you need a converter box now. They gobbled up that part of the spectrum. So analogue tv's can't pick up anything anymore.
Yeah, but there are as you said modern workarounds to use old junk like that TV.

The one I have also has a built in dvr, so you can record straight off the OTA feed if you connect a thumb drive. Best garage tv hookup in the neighborhood.
I think a Fallout prop would be in order for that TV.
@@Anarchist86ed yeah a digital to analog converter box
I was difficult to miss all FCC print, radio, and TV public service messages for that year leading up to the summer of 2009.
Your videos makes the day better... Keep going man you're awesome
Just what we all needed! The voice of reason! Thank God for Bithead1000!
I have a CB radio as well, but its never anyone in my area lol
😄Thank GOD!!! This is EXACTLY what my husband and I needed to lift our spirits, with all this rediculous nonsense going on right now! Thank you Bithead1000, your channel is a treasure!

@@Remedey49 😖Sad but true
I'm 44 and your stories make me go back in time! 88 mph to the 80's!

You're an old soul and a giant - grounded in authentic masculinity. Keep crushing!
you gonna kiss him?
It turns out I'm the one crushing, eh?
this episode belongs in the Hall of Fame
it is?
you cracked me up with that torrent of nick names.
Is there a coax cable connection for the TV? I bought a TV from goodwill that was same size for $5.
Hooked up my 7800.
I wish. Nothing.
Dude! My dad had that same portable TV. I was able to hook our Atari 2600 up to it when I was a kid. It was completely pointless, but still very fun.
Is there not an RF input on that non-portable tv?
Man, I went to an industrial surplus warehouse a few weeks ago, saw some cool stuff... left with a server rack that I can stand inside (with a totally separate rolling base that has nothing to do with it, but it was included, as was the pull out 2U shelf with storage... which was sticking out halfway, off it's guide rails, which I later fixed) and a tiny CRT TV (it must have been for some weird application, because it only has like a BNC and S-Video input... they threw it in for a couple bucks 👍).

Haha that CB radio idea is gonna be gold!
that tv looks like a pip boy from fallout
I wonder if it is possible to brooadcast to the UHF band independantly?
I love the fact then when you opened the wine bottle, it hit the game station and make the SD Card pop out. Thats just the natural chaos that happens all the time. If you would try that on purpose,it will never happen!!!
The TV doesn't take a standard boombox AC cable to plug it in???
This episode is gold
Awesome episode/pickups Jesse! You should have played RC pro AM on the TV, that would be sweet if it worked.
I never laughed so hard watching a UA-cam video
Thx 4 the laugh Bithead🤣🤣🤣 I needed that today!!!😂
It's Showtime all right, thank the lord for a new BH alert. You'll certainly help now pass the time on this dreaded nightshift, cheers ☕
Sippa coffee for the nightshift worker.
Ohhhhhh my friend Jesse! Thumb down for you 😋
I need to send you a package of goodies i hope you'll receive it in time this time and not be called by the post office to get it right now or "it goes back today" 😂😂😂😂

What if you had a 3 car garage?
58:29 scanning for alien/ghosts 😂
My comments are ...
Dying laughing 🤣 Anologue tv stopped working over 10 years ago.
Even digital signal to analog converter boxes have probably gone the way of the dodo by now. Funny how far we've come in such a relatively short amount of time.
I think upon need a digital converter box or a different antenna
Just buy a digital off Amazon...I got one for 12 bucks works good, gets around 50 channels...nothing good on TV anyway nowdays. That's why were all watching BitHead!

A new bit head 1000 episode ! Today is a good day. 😎
Damn right!! Sip a coffee
1:00:34 that $40+ TV and batteries almost fell LOL this guy is CUMedy GOLD...
Your wife might be interested in the leftover batteries... ! OAHHH , hadda say it.. i took a pill. :P
Was half expecting you to pick up Videodrome on that TV brother!
we all needed this today!
I'd snap up a $5 guitar pedal any day, but that one's only worth about 20 bucks. I HAD THAT TV AS A KID!!!
Can't wait for the return of The Baker to the CB airwaves
Haha!! You’re not wrong about people’s brains being taken over by social media!
My wife was laughing when I showed her you talking about your sons nick names. 😂 I call my 1 year old so many names and she never knew other guys did this. Hahahaha! We got, Mongos, Munch, Bongo, Bongo Malone, Marconi Capone, Monch, Smonch, etc. I think I've called him Christopher like twice.
Bongo Malone!!! Lol
You should do a new series called CB talk with BitHead 1000.
Still can’t believe you got that SNES classic for $15!
that gameboy sound chip!

#Rock’nRoll Racing This was also my first thought, when i bought this THING! Instantly hacked it :)
Thank you ,Sir!
Reminds me of Dazed and Confused!
Bithead, you can buy D adaptors for AA batteries. It's just the capsule in D format where you insert 1 AA battery. Costs cents.
"oh really, Jeff... ya fired! pack up ya desk" love it!
I laughed out loud at that part too 🤣
I’ll buy that guitar pedal from you. How much do you want for it
I’m from Austin.....that’s a pretty accurate description lol
I was just thinking...DAMN I HOPE THEIRS A NEW BITHEAD SHOW OUT!!!
Who did you vote for, BigHead?
Let's all take the tontoon boat for a spin.
I think all tv channels are only broadcasted digitally now since 2009
Entering 2nd lockdown today , I'm in, stuck in 🧱🧍🧱
Niiiiiccccceeeee
They stopped broadcasting tv signals over the airwaves years ago. You need a digital receiver now.
The man the myth the legend Bithead1000!
Hook a Nintenda up to that tv.
You know the dollar store sells d batteries, 2 packs, so would cost you like ten bux, especially since its obviously only to play around lol, but hey you dont need your yardsale license revoked, stuff like this is what garage sales are all about my man
32:40 "Donkey Kong CUNTRY" LMFAO
57:19 ( you know your exactly right)

I work overtime *and* do whatever I want.
Work hard, party harder!
Used to play Revenge of Shinobi on those little portable b&ws
Another couple thousand subs & Nicolas Cage Will probably personally come on the show and pour you a coffee into the mug with his own face on it
Ben Johnson! Go Canada!
Looks like you could've bought a $2 power cable for that bad boy TV but the D batteries were good for a laugh. Time to bust out that heater ya got last year so your hands don't fall off.
Can we have another colt 45 and 80s records episode? Live!!
Its coming.
I wish local channels could still be picked up via analog. Digital blows! I have more issues with local channels coming in over a digital signal than back in the day over the airway.
I live and work with Monkeys!
I have that EXACT tv when I was a kid! And yes it ate the shit out of some D Batteries, so the power cable was my only option!
Make sure to go through every channel, never know... There might be a booby on one!
Halloween was the best day in the 80s and it was still rad this year lighting fireworks and visited my local Arcade played Donkey Kong Spooky, we did some crazy shit back in the day like hose in the mailbox etc etc
Hose in the mailbox! Ahahahaha!

He do know all tv station went digital right and all analog station is no more? It. It not all lost though he just need a digital converter box.
Yeah, I was surprised to see that Walmart sells multiple versions to this day.
