This was the digital signal on 8.1 - the left side shows the analog signoff that I recorded on Friday. Didn't see this until now - this was actually kind of cool, especially hearing the little sirens in the background when they killed the analog signal.
WRAL-TV 5 was, with an experimental signal in 1996, with a full fledged HD signal being established at the following year as well as the addition of HD cameras and equipment for their newscasts to become high definition to accompany the existing signal being done years later in 2000.
8 years ago on June 12th, history was made, Digital TV became supreme US law. And on June 12, 2017, history was made again, Golden State Warriors win the NBA finals at home
Not true, people who had TVs without cable boxes had to rescan to remove the analog cable channels from their TV. At that time, cable networks were required to carry those analog channels by law. After that, they had to rescan a second time at some point, as cable companies repacked their spectrum to use the freed channels.
@@denelson83 The whoosh is you were unaware about basic cable, which was required by law at that time to not use any cable boxes. Otherwise your comment doesn't make any sense. So don't try to whoosh over your own ignorance, it just makes you look stupid.
This particular moment will come to my country in few years time it don't it will be this monumental since we can't do a complete transition just yet,too many people still using analog TV with Antenna with simple VHF or "sophisticated" UHF" 15 million Digital vs 50 million Analog.
no it only counts up because they havent turned off the countdown so it was just saying for a few seconds that it has been x amount of seconds since the shutdown
People who were just that poor or were really attached to their old sets. There are also edge cases like retro gamers who wanted to keep their analog TVs and decided "Well might as well get an antenna and box for it too, I guess".

And WFAA-TV was actually the first television station in the U.S. to put a digital signal on the air.
that is incorrect ! WRAL Channel 5 was the first tv station to broadcast digital and in HD
@@daltex81 No, what WRAL did was experimental.

I was watching this on analog tv with converter box. I forgot it was on so when they flicked the switch I was like 'why didn't it work?'
ur dumb about the analog tv shut down
"And now for your viewing pleasure, we are going off the air!"
I did this and played another video with the analog signal at the same time. Fun!
Digital.
DIG IT ALL
If we go by that logic, then we should have never gotten rid of b&w picture and mono sound.
Wow. WFAA TV 8 in American analog is shut down!

Recorded in digital.
Why does it say "DIGITIAL" instead of "DIGITAL"?
Your wrong, it said DIGITIAL
And because of misspelling
