I happened to be home from work when one of our local stations (WRAL channel 5) turned off it's analog transmitter. I had a set on rabbit ears pulling it in and they actually showed one of their people pushing the button to shut down the transmitter. Of course the analog set went to static, the others kept on going. I LOVE that big Zenith TV in this video, that thing is SERIOUSLY cool!

That MacBook model was a 2 year old model at the time this video was uploaded. It is now a 16 year old model. Also, RIP analog television. Somewhere in outer space, your airwaves, signals, and and frequencies can still be heard. However, they’re no longer as strong as they used to be.
Notice that the picture on it was shifted upward. My guess is that it syncs the image differently from newer TVs that were developed once widescreen came onto the horizon.
Our first ever colour telly (rented) habitually shrunk to a thin coloured line - our regular repairman would take the time to fix it in situ - but, if the work experience lads had to come out, they took it into the shop and left us a crappy black and white telly, which had to serve as the main telly for about a week!
I miss analog TV. I was born in 1984. I like the clarity and multiplexing of digital. But the power levels aren't as high. So it's either image or digital Confetti.
I am curious about that too,i know anytime i seen a picture tube tv do that (newer ones than that RCA) that meant the tv was broken. Its strange if that tv actually stopped working the minute they did the digital switch,the tv was already 59 years old when this video made,so maybe the RCA decided to burn out with the analog era.
A little history: The reason that the first Color TV's used a round CRT (Cathode Ray Tube); even though B & W TV's had long used rectangular CRT's; the engineers were unable to get good color convergence and purity in the corners of a rectangular color CRT. IE: It takes 3 beams to make color TV; which required Red, Green and Blue phosphorous dots in those days. Because of the shallow curvature of the front of the CRT; convergence and purity of the cathode beams would be horrible. In order to have perfect convergence and purity in the corners; the front of the screen would have to be globe like. This just would not please viewers. So RCA decided to use round CRT's But after a number of years, they found a way to do it. The first rectangular CRT TV, 27" (color set) to be made; was presented to General David Sarnoff (CEO of RCA). And it was installed in David's yacht named "Electron", berthed in Miami, Florida. Believe this or not: That TV had a major problem when I opened the box; and top management at RCA had a fit (and fell in it when told them). They had me determine what was wrong. The following is absolutely true: I found a tiny defective part in the chassis, but there was NONE to be had. So they decided to have a "carrier" take this part (in a 1" cube box) in an airplane and I met the plane at Ft Lauderdale AP. He gave it to me (no security in AP's then). He flew right back to NJ; and I exchanged it for the defective part; and technicians came up from Miami and got it in Ft Lauderdale; and took it to Miami beach; and installed the TV; just one day before David was to arrive at his yacht. Believe it or not. I shall never forget the fury over that calamity. But after that, we all laughed about it. But IF we were not able to get that TV fixed, BEFORE the CEO arrived, "Hell Fire" would have been all over RCA; and I assure you some heads WOULD roll. As the sun rises in the "marnin!". End of Story.
Hi Steve. Bravo. Cool video. I did this too. I used a 1956 Admiral Delux 300 I found in someones trash. yep. i saved it. I like how you have several tvs on at the same time. I have a round screen Zenith that looks almost like yours. I did get a digital converter and will post the 56 Admiral sucking in the digital. I will say I have never seen a clearer image on that old Admiral. : )
PAL TV is better? That is too much of a broad comment. The Line frequency, Frame rate and aspect ratio is not a PAL/NTSC issue. The BBC and British Post Office experimented with NTSC on 405 lines 25hz frame rate in the late 50s and early 60s. PAL is based on NTSC, the chroma signal's phase is reversed on alternate lines enabling the phase errors to cancel in the decoder and thus do away with the tint control. Full marks to RCA and the NTSC system I say!
Absolutely! Especially considering that NTSC was forced to shoehorn a color signal into the existing B/W standard, while maintaining full backward compatibility. A masterful bit of engineering that lasted over 50 years.
Why did the Zenith lose vertical sweep? Looked like video was still there... I was assuming that the lack of height was a 16:9 format on a round CRT, but maybe the vertical was just not working right, then quit completely? Probably a bad wax/paper capacitor.
0:54 Okay, the Zenith 1950 TV has already got its Analog signal shutdown and has been replaced by the National Association of Broadcasters' Spanish edition of the Nightlight DTV Service. That's normal. That's normal. 2:20 WTF?! The Zenith 1950 TV barely got its Analog Nightlight DTV service up and airing and now it shut down. WTF?!
Lol i thought that too...i wondered did the picture tube on that 1 just burn out or is it b/c of the swtichover. I remember a (much newer version of) a colored floor model picture tube television we had,and lightning struck it 1 day,and it turned the picture into just that:a permanent line across the tv screen.
By the look of the Zenith rolled up picture due to the bad electrolytic capacitor at the cathode of the vertical output tube, the end of NTSC came just in time!
PAL have much better resolution and superior color encoding without any hue issues and far less influence of color information on luma. I actually pity NTSC users because how bad NTSC was. Just compare LaserDisc PAL and NTSC releases. Difference is drastic
Because old games were program for 60hz ,not because PAL sucks,,NTSC is worse with terrible colours and that tint control you just dont bother to play with becouse of constant change all the time from one channel to the other ,I live in the american continent and have seen the pictures,not as sharp and films judder especially during camara panning,,and tv lines so visible on larger screens.50hz tv picture is as smooth as silk ,dont need more frames,waist of bandwidth. and more resoulion of lines.but yeah keep on defending it.
Some tv CRT flicker more than others,depends on the persistence of the phosphors,and also how much brightness and contrast you have on the screen .I my self even notice flicker on 60hz displays! The flicker is not a problem any more on flat screens. I was always very carefull in what tv set i would buy and avoided Japanese or asian sets made for Pal 50hz region because on many models there CRT phosphors had a shorter persistance not optimised for 50hz that made the screens flicker more than a proper European CRT with a longer persistence phosphors. Sony trinitrons were one of the worst for 50hz We were treated like crap by the japanese not only on tv receivers but video gaming,not spending that extra time to properly decode and ajust the resolution. In Australia we started in the 80s to get lots of imports tv from asia ,and thats when quality went down. theres nothing like something built in Germany, but Germany of years gone by ,not now,, all is rubbish everywere.
Depending on when you are talking about, i find Japan made some very good sets. I have two Hitachi CRTs both from 1977, one colour, one black and white. One 20” set, another 5” portable. Both are great even in 2019. Both CRTs have great emissions and the 5” portable has never had a repair, and it still works. The 20” colour set has had 1 repair - by me - because of a slight issue with the screen. Turned out to be 2 faulty caps and a burnt resistor! Extremely easy fix. Try that on a British or US set, you’d probably replace a lot more than 3 components.
@scaryred24 PAL has 20% more lines of resolution but NTSC has a higher video refresh rate (30 frames vs 25 fps). So, the PAL image will have better resolution but the NTSC format works better for fast motion video So, generally speaking, if you have PAL-sourced video (DVDs, on-air or cable programming, etc.), it will look better on a PAL system. And, if you have NTSC-sourced video, it will look better on an NTSC system + tint control is an issue in ntsc
they have both advantages and drawbacks PAL has better resolution while NTSC has a better refresh rate. NTSC is for 60 HZ while PAL is for 50 HZ except PAL M which is used in Brazil.
Bring it back I miss looking at uhf tv. Anyway with all those channels there is still nothing on. Government and the powers that be in in television screwed it up
Digital TV is so much better, I grew up with Analog TV, it was quaint, but was imperfect, snowy pictures lines across the screen, colored spots or lines, the screen always going up & down, etc.
Sounds like you didn’t have a great TV set. Snowy pictures, fine tune and they were gone. Lines across the screen, either a dodgy connection, dodgy CRT or something near the TV was affecting it. Colour patches - TV wasn’t properly converged. TV picture kept going up and down, adjust the vertical hold.
I don’t understand why they mandated stopping all NTSC signals. Why not do digital and analog? I’d rather have a snowy picture than a video that keeps pausing and going silent.
Hahah Noooooo PAL & NTSC were color standards and has nothing to do with vertical frequency of mains frequency. NTSC was one of the first color standards, then PAL was developed. PAL was a better color standard than NTSC, but it came AFTER the NTSC standard and it was way to late to adopt the PAL standard
