I was waiting for the video to load while looking at TV Tropes. I see this video mentioned on Last Note Nightmare, and the video plays out while I'm reading about it. Nothing. Is. Scarier.
I remember when we had our signal shut off. I was sitting there, watching "Ed, Edd, and Eddy", the episode where Plank was treated to a whole myriad of different thrill rides from the Edds, and at that scene where he falls over to activate the the rollercoaster, just as he was fallin-KSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Me: O holy FUCK what happened to mah EDDS!?!? MOM!!! We need to call Comcast, now, and fast!!!
@Decliner MEEEE!!!! lol...isn't the video about the forced change from analog to digital? But it is still scary non the less...Imagine flipping through the rest of the channels to find that there's static on those too?
Of course, there's a sixth scenario the anchors missed; you only have an analog TV with rabbit ears and no converter, and after the analog signal is turned off, you just stop watching television altogether.
You should have included Phoenix by mesa in the description above. Most people do not know where mesa is and KPNX has nothing in mesa--eveything is in phoenix for this station.
@KOFILMSANDMEDIA Er... I meant in the video. Your comment made me laugh, too, but if you interpreted my previous comment as referring to it, it might sound derisive, so I just wanted to clarify.
I guess Best Buy was doing that free service everywhere. I should have called and had them come over just so I could mess with them.
I HATE how digital tuners don't let you just enter a channel number to see if it's on the air- you have to have it scan every available channel first. Some might only come in if your antenna is pointed a certain way, and it'll be harder to find new stations that might come on too. Not that there's anything on worth watching, anyways.
SOME converter boxes do let you enter the channel directly, via the "add channel" option on the menu. DTVpal lets ou do that and ditto the Zenith/ Insgnia models.

Yeah, I got the sense that the engineers jumped the gun. Curtis' voice inflections suggest he didn't literally mean "right NOW". :-)

I just bought a new LCD tv and it will let u enter the channel number. Its so much better than scanning.

Much better than KPHO, they said goobye before the end.
Pity the translator viewers, you'd think they'd have enough lead time to get ready and be on the job on the 12th.
andrewcheadle 2 years ago
I have to agree.
KPHO should've waited until after the 10pm replay, do a legal ID and throw the switch.
Curtis should have done a legal ID too.
