The world has been broadcasting TV signals since the 1920s. That has given the earliest signals about 80 years to travel away from earth, so that means they have travelled up to 80 light years. That is about 500,000,000,000,000 miles (give or take a few million miles).

That radius is enough to encompass up to 100 stars so the signals will have passed quite a few planets so far. By the time the signals reach these planets, the signals are probably far too weak to be detected above the radio noise of the universe so it is unlikely that any other life forms are watching our television programs from decades ago

How come your vhf signal is gone?

In the United States, Congress has required that major TV stations broadcast only digital signals beginning on 14 June 2009. TV and radio broadcasting begin with analog signals and older televisions are capable of receiving only analog signals. If your TV is receiving over-the-air signals (not via cable or satellite dish) and it is not digital capable or equipped with a digital conversion box, it will seem as if your VHF and UHF television signals have gone away. A conversion box can be purchased in many stores for $40-$60 or so, and up to two government coupons per household are available to cover $40 of that.


Do crystal radio sets still work now that everything has gone digital?

Yes because only television signals from some stations have gone digital. Crystal radios will pick up stations broadcasting on the A.M. broadcast band (540k to 1600K). These signals are amplitude modulated and crystal radios pick these up really well. You could also use them for Shortwave and pick up some stations. Am, FM and shortwave are still not digital.
