I thought that the broadcasters would actually fight this, as there will definitely be a reduction in OTA viewership (hence ratings, hence advert. $$$) the second the analogs are switched off. I own 5 non-DTV TVs (not including an old Watchman), & since satellite TV is unaffected I will probably forget the mostly useless OTA programming (I don't/won't pay for locals via the dish) & continue to watch std. def. TV via the dishes. Bob NO6B
