analog or digital?
It's far too late to ever go back to analog television broadcasting; but just a quick question~~
which is better?
iirc and it's been like a decade or so since the swap to digital in the US at least; that analog might actually have been better.
cause, if there was a thunderstorm, you could still perhaps get sound even if the picture was static... or when the picture was messed up. it didn't glitch and hang on a syllable or something and loop indefinitely until the tv was turned off and back on again. or cut out to no signal entirely.
unfortunately that's all I remember from the days before the switch to digital tv channel broadcasting.
I'm of the (possibly? idk) naive belief that analog was superior to digital in some cases, this is one of them.
how is digital better than analog in this case or vice versa? curious whether digital tv broadcasts, or analog ones were/are better, and why.
probably a product of a bygone era at this point; but I miss the days of analog tv~~
I'm imagining people moving their antennas around trying to get stations far away if the weather permitted it, like you can with shortwave radio broadcasts.
