Final analog signoff for WCGV (channel 24, Milwaukee)

The final analog signoff, before switching to digital-only, on February 17th at around midnight for WCGV, channel 24 in Milwaukee. Recorded on cable; the over-the-air signal switched to a "nightlight" service running a loop of the nationally-distributed video on how to switch to digital television.

A DVD recorder attached to my TV set (followed by ripping the DVD-R's recording to my computer).

I bet in 60-70 years they'll be making the switch from digital broadcasting to something else. That something else, who knows.

thats awesome FlameBird, if like to record all digital like a DVR and then transfer the files to my PC for converting and playback sort of like that high quality mpeg extraction technique used on TiVo to get shows off it. i have a few that ive downloaded and they had that b4 the episode. but it prob make my pc into a DVR and then do it directly like with xp media center.

id like to get a system that can do that either for my pc or some hardware device where i can record anything i want digitally and in HQ and convert it to play on any of my devices like my ipod or my psp.

At Least WCGV/WVTV Did Something Special To End Their Analog Signals, Unlike Thier Sister Station Here In Des Moines, KDSM.
