Yes, and outdated browsers and operating systems can’t get “modern stuff” either.

When they switched to a digital signal for television, they switched to a digital signal. They no longer broadcast the old signal. I could not afford a new television at the time. Fortunately, the government issued discount coupons that allowed me to get a signal converter for my CRT television. Why did they stop supporting my old television?
