Television "snow". Modern TVs and other tuners seem to like to display solid blue or something when there's no signal on a channel, not to mention that for people on cable or whatever, the idea of "no signal on a channel" is pretty wacky.
This mostly bothers me because it means that the great opening line of Neuromancer ("The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel") will cease to be properly evocative.
