so sad

Yay color shifting, pixellation, macro-block ugliness, horrid screeching audio glitches, and annoyances associated with conversion.

Hopefully the conversion to this will be easy for people who don't want another ugly, slow, clunky converter box eating up space, space on a power strip, and electricity.

Those little "dongle" type converters any good? Any word on how this will actually work for people who have an old tube set with an analog tuner?

Re: so sad

As opposed to static, ghosting, and fuzziness?

A crappy signal is crap whether it's analog or digital.

Re: so sad

Yeah, but the fuzziness is uniform, and as the picture fades the Audio could keep you going thru the plot....

Re: so sad

By going all digital they'll be able use less compression (Verizon only puts 10 streams per channel instead of cable's usual 12).

Analog high def also works just fine for computer displays with VGA connections - which is basically component video...
which is also used for, guess what, high definition video on televisions

With less than perfect signal guess what you see on digital? A BLACK SCREEN!!!!!!!!
At least on analog you get a snowy BUT WATCHABLE signal.
