| Not happening. There are way too many people that feel Standard TV is good enough. The market just isn't there. I don't see this happening by any deadline. I feel as we go through the years and people buy new TVs people we begin to migrate but I don't ever see analog TV completely fading out for at least 20 or 30 more years.

1 edit | said by dslwanter:. . . but I don't ever see analog TV completely fading out for at least 20 or 30 more years. I thought the Digital TV Deadline (for the US) was February 2009 . . . at least it is according to this article: »news.com.com/House+approves+new+···804.html
. . . or did you mean in other parts of the world?
But this guy isn't really talking about switching to digital . . . he is talking about the way in which TV is delivered and the way in which we view it.

It's coming . . . but not in 2006! Eventually, in the next several years (after the forced digital conversion), things will start changing a great deal. The way in which we watch TV will evolve, but I don't think that will happen over night. For one thing, too much of the population is over 50. Older folks don't take to change very well.

The original date was in 2002. everytime it came within a year or two they pushed the date back. i dont see it happening anytime soon.
