Watching the SuperBowl on your vintage TV?
I will never learn how to take decent live shots with my digital camera. Anyway, you get the general idea. My 630TS is receiving a local station on an amplified rabbit ear antenna.
I'm not that much of a sports fan, but with my wife out of town, this is a rare opportunity to watch a Big Game on a small B/W television without anyone laughing! Phil Nelson

Me too! Very cool! I just don't get why anyone would laugh at doing this. Well, yes I do.....
We take so much for granted while actually standing on the edge of having to re-learn how to make fire with sticks.

Oops; I missed the Super Bowl this year. I was busy sharpening pencils, then I decided to do something more interesting like reading the phone book.

Just as a side note here, I was at the bowling alley for league that evening, and of course they had the HD feed of the super bowl on the plasma tv in the bar, I thought it looked like crap, but that was probably because of the downpour. It's just interesting that i'm sure the super bowl is a big driver of sales for new sets, and it was probably a big bummer to a lot of people that ran out and bought a brand new TV for the game and ended up with the sub-par picture.

There was an article in the paper just prior to the game regarding the increased sales of new sets because of super bowl "show-offs". One guy had just shelled out $10K to have a big, big screen on Sunday. I could never have a party, even if I wanted to...my newest set, a 1990 19" Sylvania, would have me laughed out of the county!

60 years ago, we barely had running water inside a house to go to the bathroom but that doesn't mean I want to go back to that for poops and grins! lol.
