It's being killed off for money.
The "change" stimulates the electronic industry, which generates revenue for uncle sam, who has a lot of money invested in it through research grants and subsidies.
Another problem with digital is the ability to relay data that essentially is a lie. In about 25 years, people who go to an electronic court accused of murder, will say "prove it." A video file will be displayed showing the accused murdering some one, when in reality, they didn't. The false data can be verified as genuine since it will be digital.
In the future, no programs will be "free". You will pay one way or another.
The infrastructure is already in place for uncle sam to know what, where, when, how long, you viewed digital TV. Every event will be unique. The end is near, run to undeveloped countries as fast as you can.
If you go to a hospital, are admitted, you sit in bed watching TV, thinking it is free. They "discharge" you 10 days later, when you open your next home phone bill, there will be the $166 charge for the TV fee from the hospital. Does the hospital inform you of that during admittance ? Nope, it's automatic, you have to tell them first that you don't want a TV in your room.
