Outside of a RF reciever, most televisions don't work the same as

They did go digital recently.

Downconvert, digitize, the rest is software.

I'd be interested in hearing about that.
I've gone from 30 decent channels to six poor ones.
Is that a matter of content or signal quality?

Both.
Digital doesn't fade in or out the way analogue did. "Static" manifests as a
screen lock up and it's much more annoying than poor picture quality. The
stuff Bill Moyers does for PBS is real journalism. I miss being able to
watch it on the television.
Fortunately, it's all on the net.
