A Technological Schism

I have three televisions.  One small black and white TV I purchased in 1978, that, last I knew, still works but needs a converter box because of the new way of sending TV signals. I have a converter, but have not connected it, mostly because the TV is on a small table, and I am not sure how to accomodate the converter box.

I have a TV I purchased in 1988, that is connected to cable. I use a universal remote, and seem to have most options available.

I have another TV that I purchased maybe in 2005 or 2006, I am not sure.  I purchased it so I could record on VCR, but that function does not seem to work. The DVD player does work, and as on the older TV, I can access TV On Demand (free) as I am not paying for premium on demand.

I was watching the Superbowl tonight on the newest TV, but had the TV purchased in 1988 on, also.  At one point in the game, the picture on the newest TV froze.  I could hear the ongoing commentary on the older TV.  It was too wierd.  I shut off the newest TV, and turned it back on.  It took a bit, but the signal returned to live action.  It is too wierd...
