A Little-Advertised Advantage of Digital TV

The static, man. Digital broadcasts still get interference, but not the same grainy fuzzy hissing effects that TV signals used to get. Instead, you get these trippy pixellation effects, sometimes animating along with the image in bizarre ways -- as though characters on the screen had suddenly turned into smooth-flowing blocky robots. A screwed-up signal on digital just plain looks cooler than old-fashioned static.

Plus, when the sound is affected it usually cuts in and out cleanly, without that, well, staticky sound, so you can pretend that the moments of silence are covering tirades of vicious profanity.
