Defeats the purpopse

I don't want to be migrated to digital, I can't even tell if there is a quality difference. I had it for 3 months and honestly I prefer the old style analog. I have never been a premium channel sub due to the rediculous cost vs how little I actually watch the channels I have. TV has no "killer app" its all just potato chips for your mind...
I am unmotivated to upgrade to any of the speculated a la carte "packages" (doesnt really give the a la carte feel does it?).

In reality it would take a digital migration to do true a la carte.

Imagen if you only wanted 10 channels out of 99 on analog cable.

They would have to put 89 filters on your tap.

On a 20" analog tv, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference. Get a 52" DLP HDTV like I did and you will be able to tell. The digital 480i is much clearer than analog cable.

Re: Defeats the purpopse

If you have a Analog TV with S-Video and cannot tell the difference there is one of two issues your Cables/System is crap or you tv is. I have Charter Digital and once I hit channel 100 the sound and picture quality is better.
