whoosh.

a car without a transmission cannot be *used* as a car.

not only that, but it can't be registered since at a minimum, it can't
be driven to an inspection station for a safety & emissions test.

why don't you tell your own state of new york they should register it.
maybe the inspector will stop by your house to find out how a car
without a transmission can be driven. i'm sure he'd like to know.

Registration and inspection are two different things.

one requires the other, and you're missing the point, as usual.

that's the whole point.


So WTF do your keep arguing. Oh! I know, you are seeking revenge because
I challenged your poor choice of words in other posts.

Exactly what do you call the built in ability to switch from channel 3
to channel 4. In the real world it is called tuning.

there aren't any stations broadcasting on channel 3 or 4 anymore.

switch channels all you want, you're not going to be able to tune in
what's being broadcast.


Typical non answer.

The point is that those channels are still in use and the old analog
TV set will still be able to detect signals, even if it can't make any
sense of them.

what good is that???

you're trying to change it into something it isn't.

at the end of the day, the tuner can't receive tv stations.

But it can.

but it can't because it's an *analog* tuner and analog stations aren't
broadcasting anymore.

There was a time when they were not broadcating 'yet'. Was it not a TV
set then?

i said it can't be *used* as a tv. i never said it ceased being a tv.

Wrong.

it's not wrong.

here's proof, which you very conveniently left in and apparently did
not bother reading:

Our main TV is a Sony XBR. It was a floor model I bought, I think in
1989. The CRT is starting to degrade, but is still usable.

where 'usable' means 'can't be used as a tv anymore because it can't
receive digital tv signals'.

Do read all your posts. Cherry picking words, out of context is your
specialty.

The only point he is missing is the one on top of you head.

Outside of the narrow world of nospam, in some states no inspection is
required to register a car and the car need not be taken to the
registration office.

as usual, you're missing the point and arguing about irrelevant bits.

peter lives in new york, where an inspection is required. he will have
to drive his magical car to be inspected and explain how it can be
driven without a transmission.

it also doesn't matter. a car without a transmission can't be driven no
matter what anyone does, even if it's unregistered and uninsured with
an unlicensed driver in the driver's seat.

as the a safety inspection, most states require one and the ones that
don't are criminally negligent in allowing unsafe vehicles on the roads
which puts the public in danger.

Incomplete and misleading.

not at all.

There is no requirement for inspection in
some states.

i never said it applied to all states.

however, it *does* apply to new york, where peter lives.

Including Florida. A car can be registered in Florida
as long as you have the title. It can be missing any part or parts.

which is of course, incredibly stupid and criminally negligent. does
anyone there think that allowing unsafe vehicles on the road is a good
thing??

why don't they do away with driver's licenses while they're at it. what
good is a licensed driver if the vehicle they're driving is unsafe?

a tv has a built-in tuner and does not need external anything to work.
plug it in, tune in the desired station and watch the show. done.

Not so. Without an external device, they cannot receive a signal.

completely wrong.

a tv has a built-in tuner and does not need an external device. that's
the whole *point*.

And, your "*point*" is incorrect.

not at all.

You cannot bring a TV home, plug it
in, and expect it work

nonsense. i've done it on many occasions.

in all cases without an external device. Unless
you want to watch speckled fuzz, of course.

straw man. i never said in all cases.

some people live too far away from a transmitter for the internal tuner
to work, and what you don't realize is that doesn't actually change
anything.

You have to connect it to a cable connection, a dish connection, or
some sort of antenna. All are external devices.

you're missing the point, as usual.
