Use them for dvd's or games. Give them to some grandchild or so on to play on.
I will keep mine in the bedroom to watch movies on.

This post is about tube TV's ( not the flat-screens )
Most of the tube TV's in stores have a label on them
that says SDTV.
We have a small one.
One of the annoying things is that when you
click on a channel, you get a blank blue
screen, and then a few seconds later a picture
finally appears.

I never have figgered out how they taught telephones and radios and
TVs to speak Spanish and Czech and other foreign languages in the
first place--'specially French, with all the slobbering

You guys (not just you, Gill) are not getting it. The broadcast of analog TV

It's not the frequencies, it's the fact that it will be broadcast digitally. As

Please understand. Digital is STILL a broadcast
It may be digital content, but it's still transmitted in an analog way.
So you can receive it but not necessarily decode it into a useable
format, hence the box.

It states that a UHF antenna should be sufficient. Of course this is a
.gov website and probably should be viewed with skepticism.

The answer is definitely farther in for bats. I have seen bats and/or bat
bones _way_ back into caves. Way farther than it seems like
In Borneo I observed that most species of bat which commonly inhabit the caves
of Gunung Buda (Sarawak, Malaysia), including some cave-roosting fruit bats,
tend to roost near the entrances. There, it is the swiftlets (birds) which
travel kms into the caves. They echolocate using clicks. They

No!!! They absolutely will not work with digital. It's a whole different setup.
BTW, don't believe the BS the networks are putting out that they're converting
to digital because the pic is so much better. They're not that altruistic. The
real reason is because they want those other frequencies
This is true. Also, for the past year or so, new TVs have come with reception
setups for both analog and digital. You can buy a cheapy TV (less than $200) at
Wal-mart with both. Those of us with oldies that are still working may still
opt, at least temporarily, for the converter box. I
