Some people have been reporting the loss of analog channels in their basic/ext. basic cable TV subscriptions, with their cableco moving those channels to the digital tier.

Here's an interesting, tho brief, article (http://broadcastengineering.com/news/deadlines-nears-cable-clash-transition-1010/?cid=top2) on the "clash between broadcasters and cablecos over the digital transition, which might shed some (ugly) light.

Odds are eventually they'll end all analog signal. That bandwidth is just too precious. Remember, they only have to accomodate analog sets (think set top box) and not spoon feed them analog RF.

I predict that the Analog Cable Games will eventually out-draw the Olympics... :eek:
