At least with analog, when the signal gets weak the picture only gets fuzzier, but with digital the picture is non-existent, like watching a scratched DVD...

I didn't watch much TV anyway, so I guess come February it's DVDs-only for me. Pretty funny though. They're apparently worried about fraud in the sale of converter boxes. They'll bail out rich bankers, but fret over coupons to people who don't subscribe to cable and have old TVs. I requested a coupon, it never arrived, and the guv’ment won’t reissue it.

Where? Analog has been dead where I live for over a year. Where others live, it might not be dead for years to come. If you mean "in America", you should remember to write that when you're on the web, seeing as the two first w:s in your own URL don't refer to it being a local concern. Analog TV will be no more?

When she took the scissors to the cord, it reminded me of when I father did that to the phone. Granted, my dad didn't have the excuse of age at that point, but still. It did bring up a good point about the conversions. This will be so confusing to a few people out there. Those old TVs they showed in the beginning are awesome. I wish I watched TV on those - umm, maybe not. Oh my. When she took the scissors to the cord, it reminded me of when I father did that to the phone.
