On a side note, on June 13 I tried my old analog mini portable tv just to see if there were still any channels I could receive. I got three: how to change over to DTV by buying a converter box (English version), how to change over to DTV by buying a converter box (Spanish version), and the Home Shopping Network. I got a pretty good chuckle out of that.


Anyway, I'm not sold on the whole DTV thing. It's like when they switched cell phones over from analog and analog/digital combo to strictly digital. In the city it makes little difference, but when you're out in the country the analog phones would still get reasonable signal at the expensive of battery life. Digital phones, forget it, they never get any signal. I imagine TVs work in a similar matter, where you could at least get a fuzzy picture before, you now get nothing.
