    Should you convert all house outlets to GFCI?

    I know the code says all outlets in kitchen, bathrooms, workspaces etc should be GFCI. But is it just smart to replace all outlets to GFCI outside some specific circumstances?

    Convert VCR analog TV output to digital TV input

    I have an old VCR and a library of video tape recordings I have not played for quite a few years. The output of the VCR is the old analog Channel 3 TV signal which fed into the aerial input of the old analog TV. I now have a digital TV and there is no Channel 3. There is instead, for example, a...
