my 2 old black and white tvs only can catch the low power stations because they still are broadcasting in analog.

Here you can watch the whole transition, including what happened after he pushed the "off" button (copy and paste into your address bar):

Actually the delay was most likely due to the fact that the remote broadcast is digital from the remote ENG truck to the studio. So Dave forgot to include that additional delay in the count down as he shut down the analog transmitter before the signal from the truck got to the studio..

Goodbye Analog, Hello Digital!!!!

Great video, a full transition! Digital uhf -> vhf and then a killing of the analog and the oh so important extra few seconds of static at the end :)

5,4,3 .... what happen to 2 and 1? LOL

There is a delay from the moment when the person speaks and when the signal is transmitted by the transmitter and received by a television. It is approximately 2 seconds. So he said 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and then hit the off button but the analog transmitter only transmitted 5, 4, 3.
