The static on old CRT TVs with rabbit ears was the cosmic microwave background. No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

    Our cable provider (my parents like cable TV) had analog channels even like 2 years ago, but they started encrypting everything which required purging the analog selection.

    This sucks. At worst analog would be grainy, digital just keeps cutting out in worse conditions.
    I wish there was also still analog OTA TV for this reason. Much easier to pick up usable signal.
