So many people threw out there none cable ready tv sets, or sold them at yard sales for 5.00 . when all you have to do is hook it up to a vhs or dvd player with a remote and you get cable , and have a remote for a tv that had none. I have a endless supply or good working color portable's to last me. Most of them are 45 watts . And the picture quality is great . With prices from 2.00 to 5.00 i can afford to throw the ones out that stop working, but they havent stopped yet !

It's called DXing and there's a whole subculture devoted to it, a little like shortwave or ham radio, or train aficionados. At night the airwaves used to light up with signals from all over North & South America.

if that's true AM will be AWESOME!

edit:
"5-channel surround sound" like in concerts (300 kbit /s stream), or 7 different programs per station. Therefore digital radio like digital television will give us a lot more variety.

They will.
The UK is planning to turn-off analog radio in 2018 (tentative date), and I'm sure the U.S. will do the same.
With pure digital FM stations can send 50channel surround sound, or upto 7 different channels per station.
AM can send CD quality sound.

When I used to live in Pomona with a rooftop antenna I use to get tv reception all the way from San Diego. I use to see channel XETV Fox 6, XEWT 12 Televisa, KUSI 51, KSWB 5/69, and the San Diego CBS. I also use to get a couple of channels from Ventura and Santa Barbara.
R.I.P. Analog TV.
the end of an era

They better not do this to radio stations. Its fun to hear stations from another area in a clear day. Some people in Orange County can hear radio stations from San Diego.
