@@ring-doorbell_12Take an old VCR with RF inputs and outputs, get an antenna booster and hook its input into the output of the VCR, then on the booster on the output, which normally would go into a TV, hookup an antenna designed for low VHF, and the VCR will be broadcasting analog on channel 3 or 4. Note that some areas do have digital channels physically in the low VHF, which should check to decide if use channel 3 or 4, as for especially if there a channel in your area physically on channel 3 or 4, you don’t want the VCR to be transmitting on that same channel, as other wise choose channel 3 or 4 based on which one is furthest channel away from any physically channel 2-6 broadcasting channels, but if say somehow have both a physical channel 2, and a channel 5 in your area, then it gets more complicated on if VCR should be set for 3 or 4, as in that case need to compare distance away from the broadcasting towers and their power level to decide which channel to have the VCR transmit on
There's still analog tv in some contries, here in Bulgaria we still have it, but sadly, idk where to find 1 of those small tv's that you can also use as a radio
That moment when the FCC shuts down a system that is compatible with millions of existing receivers all because HDTVs just made it to 50% of the market
FCC in the 1950s: Color TV signals must be compatible with B&W TVs to protect the lower income families who cannot afford to upgrade. FCC in 2009: You must upgrade your TV.
Now who knows what people are gonna do with all these pocket-sized TV sets! After all, we still stream our favorite kinds of media on the personal devices that we use today!
I would have so loved this as a kid! Too expensive back then though. I wish portable digital TV's were easier to find, I do have a TV tuner dongle for my phone but I don't use it often because I'm too busy using the phone for phone things instead. Maybe one day I'll get a cheap tablet to use it with.
In some countries, terrestrial TV itself is barely used. In the past, broadcasting stations did not address poor signal issues, so most households use cable TV. In my country, it doesn't seem to matter if even terrestrial digital TV is shut down immediately. Also my country uses ATSC but it is not available on mobile. So the government created another mobile standard. This is very inefficient. My country had to use DVB from the beginning.
HDMI TO RF (channel 3 : 61.25 MHz, must be set to NTSC-M as Burma or Haiti. UHF CHANNEL 31: PAL-BG (Western Europe, Italy), PAL-I (Hong Kong, Shenzen), SECAM-DK/PAL-DK (China, Russia, Vietnam)
You can use VHS player, digital converter box or anything that has the RF out port, plug into the receiving device (TVs)/point that antenna to the RF out port and tune it to channel 3/4. Boom, it's back.
You know those screw-in cables for cable boxes if you press a coax cable while it's plugged in to a box input the metal contact of the other end on the antenna and switch to channel 3 or find the channel by flipping through on and it'll work
NTSC countries for mini TV on menu: Haiti, Burma for US NTSC and Japan for Japanese NTSC, PAL-M for Brazil, PAL-N for Argentina. NTSC color on PAL-M setting has color horizontal stripes and black and white, NTSC color on PAL-N has scrambled video snd black and white. If use PAL device into channel 3 RF modulator with mini TV if Argentina selected as country, it will show black and white and stable picture
You could set up your own rf network, but make sure that it doesn't exceed 7 meters. (20 is the limit before you're messing with the fcc) ((nobody's gonna come after you for using that for personal use))
Hey Toondesk, you can make ur own analog signal only in ur entire home by searching up a tutorial how to do it but make sure u buy the right antenna or else the Federal Communications Commission or Canadian Standards Association is at ur door. I would recommend Antenna Man’s tutorial to make a analog signal.
That’s when it was mandated that TV stations move to digital. The official shutdown of all analog TV stations was actually the summer of 2022. I had mine terminated in 2014.
Select Burma, Haiti or Japan as country. Haiti and Burma uses US analog tv frequencies but Japan uses it’s own Tv frequency. Japan VHF TV channels 1 - 3 (CATV 95 - 97 US), Japan VHF 8 - 12 (VHF TV 10 - 13 and CATV 23 US), JAPAN UHF 13 - 62 (UHF 14 - 63 US).
@@phonemaniacgamingyt1659 how so? seems like its the opposite: you can receive the signal from anywhere in your house without needing wires and its maybe 20 or 30 dollars most i guess

Just get yourself one of these analog TV modulators and a somewhat good antenna.
That’s when it was mandated that TV stations make the transition. Some went as far as the summer of 2022 when the fcc made the final deadline. Mine wasn’t shit off until 2014.
