==========================
Hiya Dave!
-> 
->  -> Give me some credit, Hap. I've had an ATSC tuner flat screen for well 
over
->  -> a year.
-> 
->  hn> I sorta figured you'd already know,but thought
->  hn> it was worth mentioning anyway....we still have
->  hn> our old analog set, but don't need to do anything
->  hn> as the cable signal won't be affected.
-> 
-> I gave my old NTSC (Never Twice Same Colour) set away via Freecycle. 
Freed up
-> more room to put books.
-> 
(grin) not all of us are as forward thinking as you,
I'll keep my old TV till it's not functional then
switch. Since I'm on cable it's not a problem and 
when it dies hopefully TV prices will have fallen 
with advancing technology.

->  -> You might want to try again - they may not muck up to digital bit 
stream
->  -> the way they made the analog picture jump and twitch. Then you too
->  -> can tell Scumcast where to stick their cable.   Bv)=
-> 
->  hn> It's a thought...but we don't watch a
->  hn> whole ton of TV and what we do watch
->  hn> is often not on the available broadcast
->  hn> channels...for example the Mariner's games
->  hn> are on Fox Sports Northwest (FSN) and is
->  hn> only available via some sort of non antenna
->  hn> method...so we'll stay with what we've got.
-> 
-> Even when I was following baseball I found it was better listened to on the
-> radio than watched on the glass teat. Even back when Dizzy Dean and 
Buddy
-> Blattner did the Falstaff Game of the Week.
->
I used to love listening to baseball on the radio.
I used to lie in bed at night with the old AM and
one earplug...cruising the band for a game..
 
-> Football (both American and Euro) works best on the tube.
-> 
-> And ice hockey is best experienced in person ... much like short track auto
-> racing.
-> 
Used to love to go to motorcycle flat track
racing and sprint cars...and the dragstrip.
Hockey..eh not my thing. Football's ok but
I'd rather watch college ball than the pros.
Baseball, I'll watch on any level at all
from sandlot to major leagues its' all
baseball and its' all good!
but that's just me (grin)
chat with you soon!
