I have one like this I am uploading a video of right now. It makes me sad how DTV Transition makes me only able to watch the spanish network. At least it has AV inputs, that rocks.
I have a 78 model too, but mine's a Sears black n'white - 6 yrs. ago paid $5 for it at a Goodwill!!!! Yours is right nice too!!!! I have 6 old t.v.s I need more ;)
I also have my JVC portable black & white TV which I got at a yard sale last year and it works good. This old JVC portable B&W TV was made in 1976 and it has a built-in antenna where it carries analog broadcast until June 12th, if anyone has a digital box, you can hook your digital converter box to your JCPenny portable TV.
It's higher then that... According to Centris, there are more than 17 million households currently receiving only over-the-air (OTA) analog signals in the U.S., of which 54% are located in challenging reception areas. 9.2 million U.S. households could experience receptivity problems with digital TV signal coverage in the upcoming DTV transition on February 17, 2009.
even though I do have cable, I quite enjoy tuning into those uhf and vh signals for some reason even though there are only three of them where I live. does this deadline apply in canada too?
Watching this stuff is making me realize how much Im gonna Miss analog Tv as it used to be. By The Way...I have the same TV too and we can get the batteries at home depot 2-6volt(emergency lighting) replacements work.
Nice old TV. Too bad It won't get any reseption after 2009. Dang! You get a lot of channels! I get 7 channels over the air. 4 come in clear enough to watch and 3 are worth watching.
I don't believe it, I'm watching the same 'Soft Rock' infomercial RIGHT NOW here in Australia at 3am. Ooooooo! The picture being cut off like that is called 'over-scan'. Great robust little TV. Getting harder to buy a B&W portable these days...
Cute TV! i collect tvs

You could use it with VCRs, etc. I would say "No" to throwing it away.

Actually, two things. One, The DTV transition was moved to June 17th.
Two. 6.5 million people still have analog. I am one of them. Color portable TV. Goes in the car, too!

Is that in the US? Cause if it is more time, then that's good news.
CassetteMaster 3 years ago
Actually, the government has changed
their mind on that, the deadline is still February 17th, 2009
as planned! because they realized it would've created problems for TV stations that are either almost ready
to go completely digital or have already gotten rid of all
their analog equipment, and with the cost to keep analog
signals running for four more months, it wouldn't even be
worth it!
