The static on old CRT TVs with rabbit ears was the cosmic microwave background. No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

    While I’ve grown up with CRTs (90’s kid) I’ve never seen the actual static in real life, only simulations.

    I don’t think channels ever went out, and if the TV was listening to a connection that didn’t give anything it just shone bright blue.
