Analog soul in a digital world

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

I picked up a couple of those digital signal converters for our ‘ancient’ TV today. Before I did I questioned whether or not to just get rid of the damn TV altogether. We don’t watch it much. But then Dalina remembered we’ll be getting two OPB channels now with the digital signal, not just one. I’m a sucker for Law and Order too… Now the question is how long until I get around to hooking them up…

I picked up the converters with those government-issue coupon cards. But why two if I only have one TV plugged in? Well, current technology is designed to break in 1-5 years and I don’t have any plans to get a hi-def TV. I’m holding out for when old TV’s will be retro cool. Same with my cell phone. You’ll see.
