minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 month agoI had a tv that output static with the colors when signal was missing, it did NOT make the fuzz sound tho. This was the early 90s
minus-squareRhaedas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoI think early digital may have done that, but not analog.
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoDigital is either on or off. You need analog to get static.
minus-squareRhaedas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoRight, it was simulated static, instead of the blue screen.
minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoFor 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.
