![]() ![]() There was no real incentive for the nation to move into an all digital format previously because the computer technology wasn’t really there yet to make the move practical.

The systems weren’t high definition, but they were digital. Gamers have had to do this since the late nineties as the 32-bit systems that were being released were putting out a signal that couldn’t be read in it’s native form. If you’re a gamer you already know that once the resolution of the systems grew to the point where it couldn’t be handled a conventional television, the RF modulators were actually digital to analog converters that allowed you to downgrade the signal to make it viewable. In the past what you were purchasing were simple devices that allowed you to connect more sophisticated analog devices, like RCA cables and coax wire, to your television. You’re used to buying stuff to make the television work, so what is the big deal about this digital television conversion people keep talking about? ![]() You’ve seen this coming for quite a while, you ended up buying an RF modulator, then a hub, and any other number of adapters or converters to keep your television working. This time next year those old rabbit ears on that television you bought back in 1980 will be extinct.
