Today ended an era in American television with the love affair of analog television. I first heard about the change to digital broadcasting when I was a high school freshman. It’s been nine years and we just reached this milestone today. My household tv did not change over. Not because Dad didn’t get a coupon which I ordered him and not because he did not have notice. He was just far too lazy to go out and buy the convertor. So now our tv of fifteen years is standing silent in the living room waiting only for the VHS and DVDs to bring it to life.

I did try the channels today. Distantly I could still pick up PBS and some indistinct channels. Television is over here for the time being.
