Bro: i’ll be back

Good thing we didn't resort to this when we converted to Digital TV over Cable & Satellite TV.

When I noticed that the PlayStation 5 doesn't even have the option for anything lower than 720p, I knew it was just a matter of time before more things started following that path.

I like to imagine that the black "This service has now closed" screen with the Weather Channel-esque music is what you see after you die. You're left staring at that QR code for all eternity.

There goes the usability of Digiboxes

How to make a "public" broadcaster inaccessible to the public

Here in the US DirecTV still supports SD but those on HD subscriptions, in the event of the satellite can't make a connection, which happens quite frequently because of bad weather. (usually just a bad thunderstorm) will get a popup on the TV that says "Poor connection - would you like to switch to Standard Definition" and there's an OK and NO.

About time we got rid of SD and made 1080p the new SD. No one complains we can't get 405 line black and white transmissions any more. The arc of progress carries on.

that menu brings me back

BBC was telling us to switch to digital but a part of digital is now closed
