Remember kids: if the government shutdown this weekend, that includes the FCC.
I've got my RF modulator hooked up already. NTSC analog TV on VHF channel 6 is ready to go the instant the government shuts down.
Pirate TV forever!

@foone FYI: just because the US government will shut down, doesn't mean all workers will stop, well, working, they just won't get paid, unless they are essential workers.

This means it is possible some FCC employee will spend the time in which the government is shut down, checking if anyone is pirating analog TV, for no payment at all. Not sure why anyone would do that, but they are in their right to do that.
