hmmmm....most people already have digital cable and there is no law saying that cable companies must cut off analog cable.

It should only really effect OTA customers. Analog cable customers should get notice from their provider when / if they turn off analog cable.

Also, the so called "paper weight" it won't be. With a digital cable box and / or a DTV OTA tuner, you can use your "so called paper weight" until the tube burns out.

Please quit trying to scare everyone telling them their CRT's will stop working in 2009. This kind of thing only hurts the DTV transition, not help.

My 20" CRT works just fine and I don't have analog cable nor use an analog over the air signal. DTV via a DTV tuner works great and it is far from a paper weight.

Most People have cable!?!?!?!

I know around 600 people that would beg to differ..........

a little town(Willow Springs, NC) JUST started getting time warner to run cable there........for a LONG time most people had rabbit ears........a few had satellite.....but there are SOME people that stay SO Far away from a main road that they wont run cable ALL the way down their dirt road......

and something tells me THEY arent the only one........y'all gotta stop looking like people that live in the city are the ONLY people that watch TV........hell even then not EVERYONE can afford even BASIC cable........
