My friend told me he doesn't watch TV when I asked him if he'd seen True Detective yet. I nearly thumped him, because he does watch TV.

I'm not sure I even understood the question in the first place.

I realised I was a bit out of touch when I picked up a TV for free off the street and plugged the RF cable into the back that I presume is connected from my wall to an aerial on the roof, only to remember that they don't even broadcast analog TV any more.

mirostones, Thursday, 10 April 2014 07:50 (ten years ago) link

yes you are out of touch

tbh I'd forgotten about that as well, and we've had a TV the whole time, but we have no analog aerial in our flat, just a Sky dish.

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 10 April 2014 10:25 (ten years ago) link

digital telly can come thru your analogue aerial

conrad, Thursday, 10 April 2014 10:34 (ten years ago) link

but you need a digital receiver for it

Occurred to me the other day that "I don't even OWN a microwave! It would just sit in the corner of the kitchen doing nothing!" has now superseded IDEOATV! as a signifier of bourgie smuggery among some of my acquaintances.

Stevie T, Thursday, 10 April 2014 11:51 (ten years ago) link

is there analogue for microwaves for what sopranos/wire/mad men/breaking bad/true detective are to the telly?

The landlord offered me a microwave but I had to turn it down, not out of smuggery but rather because the kitchenette in my bedsit has so little surface area that I would have no room left to prepare food :(

Most new TVs are digital ready so you can just plug in the rf rabbit ears and get HD broadcast. Best HD around! Better quality than most cable or satellite
