[@starschwar]

Interesting - July 13 2021 seems like a "late" date for digital switchover - but it appears that was indeed the final cutoff date for low-power analog stations. They did their homework. Of special note: an exception was made for Alaska. Their deadline is now January 10, 2022. I wouldn't be surprised to see something crop up then.

[@ILoveWomen]

You can see at one point an older “screenshot” from local 58 that states they will not be participating in the digital switch over. Which could mean that indeed they were a low power broadcaster who did not want to invest in digital until the FCC needed them to (which I believe quite a lot of stations IRL were in the same spot, though I am not an American)

I think the final message at the end is basically saying “The change to digital television is not going to stop us from invading the signal whenever we want and will only strengthen our attempts at sending our messages.” In short, Local 58 tried to stop the signal intrusions through the digital transition but only strengthened the “Moon’s” resolve.

thats a good theory i also think abt the same thing. Soo in conclusion, is local58 the good guy?

[@couriertx]

@@jdrzkn I don’t think ‘Local 58’ is a good guy or a bad guy. Local 58 is just a means to convey messages. And every video, from Contingency to Digital Transition, it has been a power struggle against us and them, to control this local tv station, and the switch to digital is just our futile attempt to regain control.

I visited the website, and one thing I noticed that no one seems to be talking about is that when you click on the archived link from 1999, all of a sudden, two archived links from 2001 pop up that weren't there before. Clicking on the first 2001 link gives you a 500 internal server error, and clicking the 1999 link after that (you can also click the second 2001 link) brings you to an article called the era of home recording. At the beginning it describes a magnetic tape cartridge player to record things, but at the end of the article, the paragraph seems to get interrupted by this creepy message: "Time, at once both warden and thief, laid low by gossamer loops of air and iron. Here is a greater, finer memory than that of men. Before the gilded doorsill of our master's silent house, we lift our mortal eyes along its wide forgotten stair, and fix them thereupon an empty throne."

[@propane_salesman]

Back when my family was poor, we couldn't afford cable television, but we still got a limited number of channels by just plugging our TVs to the cables that were screwed into the walls. That kept us entertained for years. But one night, it suddenly ceased working. On every channel was a somewhat blurry message on a dark background giving us a phone number to call to purchase a cable package. Whenever I lacked anything to do, if the internet was out and I was alone, I at least could just turn on the TV to have some noise in the house. But not anymore. The emotions that screen made me feel are hard to describe. The middle of the night, the only noise being a fan and the low hum of the television, the dim message marking the end of an era of simple pleasures and comforts. This video recaptured that feeling for me. 2:35 hit me with a load of deja vu, and 3:45 pulled me back to that night in front of the television with the empty message. It made me visualize being there at night with the only light being a message on the old TV telling depriving me of service. You would have to experience it yourself to know the eeriness and loneliness this video makes me feel.

[@elvastan]

@@vendybirdsvadl7472 You can easily convert an analog signal to a digital one and viceversa. This video is from the point of view of a viewer watching through an analog TV. The entity is trying to manipulate the analog transmission but its having trouble, because it can only mess with analog. It then relinquishes control, because it's useless to do their thing on old TVs only. Which is where the other entities, introduced here, come in. That's why there is so much datamoshing in this video. Whoever mandated there be a switch to digital right now, thought he was taking control from the entity on the moon, but didn't realize he was making it worse. They even ended putting on a flashcard to ask people politely to change to a digital receiver or TV. It didn't work, so they switched to another one to scare people into switching to digital, by telling them it's illegal to even receive analog. The video shows they initially wanted to switch to digital, but that they also planned to convert the digital signal into analog as well, to keep compatibility with older TVs. That's why datamoshing is present, even though it's a digital signal.

@@NiTeNull It's still datamoshing. For datamoshing to happen the signal had to be digital at some point. That it was converted to analog is besides the point.

So my take is (probably already been done in comments but here it is nonetheless): The power that be realized "it"/"they" were using the analog signals to do what they do (The message in "A look back": "We send messages to ourselves through their domains / Did we really believe they wouldn't add their own") and are mandating the switch to digital, and also try to protect people by putting on a big sentence for someone trying to still receive something on the old broadcast frequencies used by television channels. "They" realize this when it happens ("Betrayal" & text appearing at 2:38 in the background) but apparently "they" already know it will open another way of doing things for "them" ("Unthinking they move" so without realizing it, "cutting the throat and silencing 'it' " will "open a thousand mouths").

I haven't seen anyone note this: This whole series (especially this video) suggests their might have been an ulterior motive for the FCC to cease analog broadcasts. They were trying to stop something, and just because we can't see it doesn't mean it's not still there.

[@user-ejxomyq]

That actually makes sense. Why would the FCG put someone in jail just for broadcasting an analog signal? Other than television, there’s tons of broadcasts that are analog.

@@person3271 IRL it is illegal to broadcast analog, but the receiving part being illegal is fictional. Receiving just doesn't have a point IRL because no one is transmitting anymore. However implied within this video is that the digital transition is to prevent people seeing the dangerous messages sent out from whatever is on the moon through analog TV. To completely cut off this moon entity they have thus also made receiving illegal, so hopefully no one will even try to get its messages

[@greenpiersystem]

​@@person3271 Yeah, but there is a difference in the Local 58 rules and law and IRL, especially if there is any mix-matching happening (like how the Walden Files has been linked to FNAF directly despite being on opposite ends of the same choice, with Walden only occuring if FNAF never happened.) A lot of the Analog sphere, including Local 58 but also GENESIS HOME ENTERTAINMENT, CHANNEL BLUE, The Mandela Catalogue, and more, involve some main problem with not only objects that give reflections or images (such as mirrors or screens) but also the signals themselves. While the FCC IRL has the problem of controlling bands due to the fact that our radiation bandwidth is so full as it is that adding one more thing can fuck with so many others (look at how Bluetooth devices interact with others, or how 5G towers initially fucked with ATC and Weather radar systems when first placed for an example) this wouldn't have been a problem in these universes because we already know that in a lot of them, like in Mandela, the local government has already taken the choice to destroy their own technology to prevent future death tolls, something we have only thought of in our worst nightmares. So their airspace should be mostly clear, and they shouldn't have a reason to take things down for update reasons unless something was actually wrong or dangerous with the previous system, because if they take something down, it's also one less reliable thing they actually have to communicate quickly and safely if there is a massive emergency, as development of new technology would probably slow to a glacial pace after the discovery of this problem, rightfully so. Hence, the FCG is willing to go to far greater lengths of punishment for someone using old tech than the FCC. If someone makes an illegal radio station here, which people do all the time with HAM radios, they'll go to jail for a bit and come out in a jiffy, albeit with a longer stay tacked on if they happened to interfere with a nearby airport or military base. But these people in these worlds would potentially be summoning a portal for the shit we saw in the opening videos... ...and we all remember what our destination was on our fastest available route, right?

Damn. Seeing the analog version of the channel rage as the digital one switches on is pretty neat. When the switch happens, you see the older logo with the red appear on the upper left, announcing that Local 58 won't be participating in the switch, in an obvious lie. Then you see "ANNOUNCEMENT" faintly at the top change to "BETRAYAL" followed by the irate text appearing in the middle left of the screen, though I can't make some of it out. Then before it cuts out to the EAS style font, the header at the top changes to "I COME IN" then "THRU THE WINDOW". Someone isn't happy!

The pixel art on the website is absolutely insane. God it is so good to see the station broadcasting again and with so many new outlets to seep into, I think we can safely say we are about to be absolutely wrecked.

where are you finding the art. The website in the description only links a video and the website in the video brings me to an error page with only an article?

@@lilyh7196 what I saw was a "how to" picture to make the digital converter and then there was a mess of pixelated jargon (most likely the next step to the ARG is hidden in there) Also called the number, most likely some clue there besides the faint screams (according to me) and buttload of static. Have tried searching the website on your phone?

Jesus loves you! I warn you of your sins, repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ! If you love Him you will keep His Commandments! MAKE THE CHOICE, JESUS OR THE WORLD, JESUS IS ETERNAL, THE WORLD IS PASSING AWAY. “Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.” Ephesians 5:4 “The LORD is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him” Exodus 15:2 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” 1 Peter 3:14 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
