End of analog TV in NYC 

yeah i remember when we had that DVB-T shutdown they were always like "dont worry nothing will change". to be honest DVB-T2 is much worse

An absolutely epic way to end the analog era.

!no! me too .

+Nokorola I still watch these videos and I love them, in fact I have multiple little 100 mW video senders, blonder tongues and a little TV transmitter kit from Ramsey electronics that I still do analog tv simulations, I have 5 of these Ramsey kits and I also have a blonder tongue 3 of them that I use to add simulations as well as 10 Nippon Wireless UHF Video TV Senders. The video senders are the ones I actually hooked up to my tv antenna so that those in nearby neighbor hoods can pickup there local tv channels since I use a DTV converter box and I have 10 of them all of which are used for the video senders or blonder tongue transmitter to give our neighbors analog TV from our analog to digital TV converter box and since many lost the ability to access TV after September 1st 2015 when all the low power boosters and translators stopped broadcasting as required by law issued by the FCC. So Where I live there is very hard to get digital tv, but I actually get far better OTA DTV reception because of the height of our house and the antenna on Top of the roof that allows for it to be picked up + we are on the hill so we broadcast pretty good range I have been able to pick up my video senders even down in valley till 3/4th of the town and oddly these video senders claimed they were 100 mW which is complies with FCC part 15 standards. But wow they sure don't act like it. But being a Ham radio operator I definitely know that using an antenna on a rooftop to pick up channels and then re-broadcast them into the second rooftop antenna isn't the best deal to help my neighbors pick up the DTV stations in analog because they prefer NOT to use cable and are struggling financially so buying a DTV box ($89 is "cheapest lowest cost" for these boxes isn't going to help them at all, but what I am doing works very well my neighbors who rely on me as their TV source since the FCC is in my belief, not in the public interest as it was back in the early days of the FCC, They seem to love to help Ham radio operators like me but they don't like to help the public which is quite frustrating since there is very few ham radio operators but way more public services who aren't getting helped at all or if any very few, it's all about big money payments with the FCC which it wasn't always that way, but they got too big and things got out of control and chaotic and getting the equipment for good price on eBay and for $30 from amazon for and 360 degree directional antennas two of which I bought so $60 total with tax another total of $60.78 there definitely worth the money. However I am definitely looking to buy another 8 converter boxes so in total 18 converter boxes in all so that my neighbors can get the sub channels as right now I only have the main channels on my video senders and 3 sub channels on my blonder tongue in total there are around 9 sub channels in our area so it would help my neighbors greatly they said so definitely something for a future project. I still enjoy watching these sign offs, I was at work that day so I didn't get a chance to video tape the historic moment which was quite sad, wished I could have it would have been something quite awesome but oh well glad there are other RU-vid users who caught this historic moment and yes took the time to video tape and document the historic moment greatly appreciated.

+Ian Homan Yeah, back in 2009 I snagged one of those UHF video senders before tgey disappeared from eBay, and I love it. I thought about doing something similar to what you did but routing the outputs over coax cable through ny house so that i could use yhe.tuners built.into old TVs and equipment I have. Also, I'm pretty sure they moved back the low power shutoff date since the LP analog station in my area is still broadcasting. In fact, I should make a video about analog TV as it stands today to update my old video.

+Nokorola Yes please do a video on that Low Power analog TV station that's still on the air, if it's on Channel 6 analog, it doesn't need to shutdown because the broadcasters found a loophole that channel 6 allows for them to be on the radio because channel 6 analog audio channel be heard on 87.7 MHz which is 87.7 FM so since they heard they can be heard on the radio they pushed the FCC and congress to allow channel 6 analog Low power stations to remain on the air after September 1st 2015 because if they shut down the analog signal then they can't be heard on the radio which they refer to them selves as frank en tv stations or frank-en FM stations won't be able to produce advertising revenue so they will lose the ability to provide the community with service of local programming which isn't populated by the main stream media corporate stations, which in return means the community doesn't feel connected to their local broadcasters, which can be a huge economic struggle for big wig stations, which is why many died silently, without a big bang on June 12th 2009 . So many LPs cater music and for video have a video on loop as video is required by the FCC but the LPs due service to the community like music or programs that isn't served by the big wigs and in return they have mow profit from their station than the big wigs do which is huge in the broadcasting world. Because of this loophole that the LPs found in Channel 6 it means they like many stations in ham radio went under the radar when we setup low power repeaters because of loopholes in the laws and loopholes in the way that particular broadcast technology works and the science behind such frequencies. All of which combined can make that particular technology or technology for any matter can be huge deal in surviving a major change in the technology industry if you have loopholes in the laws in your state or country and also in the scientific aspect for the technology its self.

there are some of GoAnimate

YES

me too even tho im not from the us

OMG SAMEEE

I was just old enough to remember analog tv

Great show, I agree with you, but did you see that crap going down at the top right corner on steve wilkos?!

Rosalina, Protector of the Cosmos Yes, E|I is the thing in the corner like what Cristian said

Wow funniest comment on this comment section!

Nothings changed!

No letting the news end before switching to digital? No goodbye message? No, nothing!

Digital TV turns off first when Bill pushes the button.

@@shenghe9876 No, but WNET-13 is first.

It is when it is on WABC-7 the Eyewitness News coverage shows the pressed switch then WNET-13 goes and ten seconds later after "nothing's changed then WABC-7 goes and we get hissing like a snake.

Well that is a problem with you signal strengh/quality If you have cable, make sure, your cable amplifier (mostly in the basement of your house) including its filters are set correctly, if you use the terrestrial service, make sure you have (like Dylan said), a decent antenna, and if you have satellite TV, make sure your dish (i have no idea, if it actually is called this in english :D) is adjusted correctly

Sometimes I don't like X1 because it freezes then updates. It does that a little too much for HD...

I just can't get OTA Digital here in the goonies.

+Wesley That's cool.

Even more late in Vietnam, at 2016 till 2020.

HAVE YOU SEEN MALAYSIA I STG

I don't live in Malaysia though

@LML2008 no cilps prove about it ended. I wanna try to set up analog tv, but my TV is broken.

I'm young and I understand this. Since analog televisions have lower pixels, the channels decide to be ONLY DIGITAL so viewers can watch in high definition resolutions.

+omgitzernesto that's not the full reasoning behind the digital transition. it was easier for the day and age to go digital and cheaper than to use the old analog broadcasting system. Check here, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_television_transition_in_the_United_States

Right up with israel jumpscare

Analog horror.

Maybe play on your Xbox 360 or something

so you would be 26 by now

...such as buying a digital TV/converter box.

I think analog will never return.

Who in their right mind would want to go back from 1080 or 4k?? Analogue TV wasn't the same as film or 2 inch multitrack tape

Who knows, but as you can see, nothing's changed-(nuclear blast).

Not with the upcoming switch to 4k.

Yes.

Susunod yung sa Analog TV sa Pilipinas ngayong 2023!!!

The bigger ones happen to be 2, 4 & 7 bc that’s where their respective networks launched

If you have analog, your crying

These 4 old TVs combined use up less power than one modern TV.

It’s kinda sad. This tv ( 📺 ) is useless, except if 3 things exist: a) game console is available for use, b) dvd/cd is being played, and c) analog-to-digital converter is working properly.

Welp, that’s coming up rather soon.

I did too!

Absolutely agree, i have to use a digital to analog converter box for my old may 2001 tv that is 100 percent analog.

I agree

noob box

Wish we could just do that. I’d like to buy an old analog channel. But then again that’s probably illegal.

@@Dr-Random Yeah I'd like it if it were a legal supported service that nobody cared to restrict.

You are talking about the DTV nightlight, which was a short program telling people how to prepare for digital television, and ran for 30 days. (Until July 12, 2009)

WPIX, WNET, and WABC didn't go into nightlight mode. He just changed the channel to WNBC on those TVs.

“Da da da Doink! PBS Kids!” Those were the bottom left tv’s final words.

Wnet was airing a reaction video for its last analog program

GOOD JOB DADDY SAVING YOUR DAY

We had Comcast at that time.

I thought it was earlier than that, like 2009 or 2011 or something like that...

@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 You are correct. USA analogue TV ceased in 2009, which was on the same day that I retired from work here in Melbourne Australia. Australia, closed its analogue TV in sections, with the last of it going in December 2013. Of course, USA and Canada did leave some analogue TV stations (mostly LP) running until just recently.

@@RGC198 I thought it was in 2009, because that was when we brought our first digital tv

@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 The first analogue TV closure was in Mildura Vic in mid 2010, South Australia Regional TV went in late 2010. This was followed by Victoria Regional TV in May 2011 and Queensland Regional TV in December 2011. The rest closed in 2012 and 2013, with the last analogue TV channels in Sydney, Melbourne and Alice Springs closing in December 2013. Prior to 2010, both analogue and digital TV were in operation, after digital TV was first introduced to Australia in January 2001.

@@RGC198 heh, maybe that's why I thought it went alot earlier than that, because we live in regional/country Victoria, but Melbourne didn't get theirs turned off until 2013. I wonder what the country stations did for the occasion... But it dose make me wonder what sort of content they had on digital tv in 2001/the early years, like I remember when we first got digital tv somewhere between 2009-2011, I remember the channel "go!" had shows like the Jetsons and it's parent series, the Flintstones, I don’t know if they aired the og 60s/70s Scooby-Doo, but I do know that they aired get smart. On 7 mate night rider was aired and it was the first digital channel that my brother and father were watching the next morning after we got the tv, the show they were watching seemed to be a tv show that was filmed at one of the Barrett Jackson auctions. Although I do find it funny how we got digital tv in 2001 but according to a Google search, we didn't get colour tv until 1975🤔 But since we have 5g and 3g is being turned off this year or next year, what are they gonna do with the old analog signal?
