Re: How long will it take?
said by JTRockville  :How long before cable companies tell subscribers the analog package is no longer available because of this FCC ruling? Not sure what the ruling has do with cable companies. Only the over-the-air stations are under the digital conversion deadline; the cable companies can put whatever they want on their cable. And, except for some of the lower channels, cables channel frequencies are different from the over-the-air channels anyway, and use frequencies not used for over-the-air TV. Or they could get rid of their analog package today, since they can cram a lot more channels over digital (just like the cellular companies). |

Rockville, MD | when the over the air broadcasters give up that spectrum, there won't be an analog source - that's the whole idea, no more analog.
So, unless cablecos convert digital to analog, there shouldn't be analog channels any more. |
