minus-squareRhaedas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 天前I think early digital may have done that, but not analog.
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 天前Digital is either on or off. You need analog to get static.
minus-squareRhaedas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 天前Right, it was simulated static, instead of the blue screen.
minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 天前For the tv we had my recollection was that it only happened when there was no input plugged into the UHF. Or if the Nintendo inline was plugged in and the Nintendo was off, and no other input. We had cable since that late 80s so I don’t recall ever dealing with signal loss beyond VH1 becoming scrambled at 9:30 for the playboy channel.
