>…I have a TV that was made in 1948, I got it to work too just before US broadcasters switched from analog to digital on June 12, 2009. I haven't bothered to even plug it in after that because there was no point, but I can't bring myself to throw it away.

Just for fun, I wonder if we could make or buy a digital to analog converter, feed it a signal via cable, broadcast the analog signal across your living room to your antique TV.  That would be a fun toy.  

 

Most of you young people have never seen a black and white TV.  But I remember seeing the Wizard of Oz in black and white back in the 1960s (ja the flying monkeys scared the piss outta me even in that medium) then saw it decades later, never before realizing it was in color.
