I wonder how long before Comcast drops most analog channels?

Of course, I'm sure even those channels will eventually be converted to digital only.

For what reason? I'm sorry but I don't buy the "it's saving us A LOT of money" as an excuse to make these sudden DTV/Cable TV transitions. Back in 2008, most phone companies discontinued analog even though close to 1 million people still used analog phones, such as the old car corded phones or any cell phone created before 1998. They were basically told to spend more money on a new digital cell phone. In all honesty, people should not be forced to conform to progression in technology. It's nice to see that we still have forums like this to keep at least some of the past alive.
