It's rather unfortunate in my opinion. I know that it saves money and energy in a way, but we didn't ask for any of this. The originality of any analog set is essentially lost.

Not to mention, they are even moving the digital cable channels for these stations. Just another thing to deal with.
Yeah, that does stink. Actually, all those have been digital subchannels of 26 for over a year. Comcast digital started carrying them (at least in the suburbs) about 6 months ago.

I just found out today that they are phasing out analog cable service in my area so I'll have to get a digital converter box. No more just plugging a cable into any of my sets
