Sold an OLD TV yesterday and while testing it I found this...

So I had this old Flatscreen TV kicking around from 2004 or something. It was a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV with Composite, RGB, Antenna, RS-232 and other analog connectors on it. It had 1 HDMI connector that was actually a card inserted into the TV.

Anyway we went to test it yesterday before we sold it by connecting a wire to the TV antenna connector but we could not tune ANY channels. The local channels here could not be found. So we hooked up an old DVD player instead to demo the TV. It worked and it was sold.

Then later it was bugging me. Was the TV tuner dead? Why couldn't I get any local channels? Was the wire antenna too short? Was it --

Oh shit I forgot!!

None of the local channels here (Montreal) broadcast anything in analog anymore. Everything went HD / Digital 10 years ago. Analog TV is gone, gone gone. Times have changed.

Sigh..
