>>But my point is that so long as
there's a market where people can get analog but not digital signals,
analog tv's will be sold. They may eventually cost more then HD due to
low production runs, but they'll be made.
Personally I plan on doing without HD until my current set dies, which
with luck will be far in the future. >>

That's fine, but there is a government mandated deadline at which time
analog broadcast will cease. It has been slid to 2009. At that date,
unless it gets slid also, you can keep your analog tv, but there won't
be anything to watch on it.
We are about 20 years behind where we should be on this because
congress did not want the voters to get mad that they had to buy a new
tv. They should've done this years ago.
