Yes, but analog users continue to fight/complain about the switch.

The FCC just auctioned off the analog TV frequencies, so those broadcasts must end on schedule next year. There's no going back now.

I haven't really noticed many complaints from the analog users yet, but they will be howling mad next year.

Oh they are there, they just don’t use the Internet much. There mostly the 60 and up crowd or those that can’t afford the Digital Cable/Satellite. If Cable/Satellite came down on their basic digital packages that would be close to pricing as the basic(which is what most analog cable services are) analog I think it would make things smoother in getting people to switch. I think the last time(2006) I had cable the analog basic service was $12.00/month verus cheapest digital $25.00/month. I haven’t looked at the current pricing and don’t plan to since I am doing the online thing.
