Almost everything digital today uses code. Many codes require authentication credentials and many can expire. Look at ssl and all the enccryption stuff. Certificates expire.
What I’m saying is do this digital tools all come with expiration dates. Will an AS?? tuner stop working on a certain date if not ungraded?
The analog world was beautiful. Never changed from the 60s until 2009.

FCC is not mandating a switch over from 1.0 to 3.0 but if a station does go to 3.0 they have t0 also broadcast in 1.0 till at least 2027. Many TV’s already have 3.0 tuners and adapters are available although adapters may not give you the total 3.0 experience.
