Title: I just realized something...
Post by: Tupin on July 04, 2008, 11:52:51 AM
You know how all television broadcasts are switching to digital in February 2009? I just realized that all those portable TVs won't work anymore.  :-\

Ah well, who wants to watch Deal or No Deal on a two inch screen, anyway?  :D

Have you ever owned a portable TV?

I've pondered that for a while, but haven't realized it. :-\

Nah, just a Portable DVD Player.

Nah. Never really wanted one. I was never much of a TV person, and I'm even less of one now.

Well, there are a few portable TV's that are digital signal-compatible.

But I don't think anyone will bother.

I thought those things were a fad that died a few years ago.

That is too bad though...what if there's a guy in the forest with only one of those keeping him sane and when it stops working suddenly he will go crazy and become a psychopath and a crazed killer and go on a rampage murdering kittens and puppies and eels?

It will make for great news.

Yes, and it would be funny if they had a resurgence after that.

I got the one I used to have at a store that was going out of business for like $25.

It was only in black and white, and the antenna broke off, making it useless.

They don't sell them at Best Buy anymore because of the digital transition. I really should track one down for collection purposes....

That's probably when ours was made. Maybe 90's.
