Actually, it appears standard broadcast still hasn't been shut off yet- I just turned on my 1983 Sony Watchman and I'm still getting reception. Anyone know the real shutoff date?Duper wrote:psst, UHF/VHF doesn't exist any more. or shouldn't.
About 20 miles away, but it depends on the station. Channel 24 is kinda flaky and 18 is even worse, but 58 comes in fine.tunnelcat wrote:You must be close to your broadcaster's transmitters in order to pick up their signals with your in-the-cabinet antenna.
