I know different channels and different times of day have different
commercials, but have you noticed all the recent TV commercials for
Clorox. Not for use in washing machines, but to kill germs, like for
someone's old, frail mother (in the video), or after fishing your
child's toy out of the toilet (3 versions of that, father, mother,
black, white).

These don't seem to have anything to do with the coronovirus, but OTOH,
they come at such a good time for the Clorox company. Just coincidence?


BTW, there is no H in Clorox, so don't expect to see any chlorine
either, though sometimes it's there.

There was a surprising amount of bleach available at the grocery store,

is available again.

Sounds like you long for the good old days, when TV was so crappy that you

But seriously, 6MHz per analog channel is/was extremely inefficient. Good

I probably shouldn't say this but go to a pool store. They sell 10%

There were several reasons. Most mentioned already. The quality is
better, more stations ( signals from the same station) for the same
bandwidth, there is a 'fight' for more frequencies for different
services.

When color TV sets started comming out, the US decided that they had to
be compatable with the older black and white sets. So the US got the
worst of the types of transmissions that were out about 80 years ago.

The digital sets have a much better picture than the older analog types.
Blow up the older sets to 60 inches and at close distnces you can really
see a big difference.

Sure, they either didn't know any better or had poor vision to start
with. Growing up with some B&W sets they would have looked great by
comparison.

Sound was better they though as they could put a decent speaker in a big
box, unlike the thin flat screens of today.

Over my 70+ years I've watched many different TVs and they just keep
getting bigger and better. Living room is a 55" that was as big as
could fit in the last house. Next one will be at least a 65" as it
would easily fit here.

Same here and the CRT one I bought in the late 90s had a VGA in for a

The VHF band went to various commercial radio services and UHF went to
cell phones as I recall. I do know they sold it off to other uses.

Those channel numbers on DTV are just an illusion, They have little to
do with the TV channels we grew up with. One of ours is channel 11
which should be in high band VHF but it is really UHF along with the
others. You figure this stuff out when you buy an antenna. A VHF
antenna is useless these days unless you are just picking off FM radio
stations from a long ways away. I was able to get US1 from the keys
with mine.

6% bleach for $2/gal. There are not many pool stores left in Seattle, so
maybe no competition.

No. Standard Clorox. Maybe what they use varies by the month,
depending on what's cheaper. So when you bought yours will determine
what's in it. Oreo Cookies used to go back and forth between vegetable
and animal shortening, based on price aiui.

I plan to look at mine next time I'm in the basement.
