FCC recently mandated that cable/staellite providers must continue to provide traditional analog (420i, if memory serves) until the year 2012 (maybe 2014?), despite the 2010 "shut-off" date for over-the-air broadcast of " traditional TV"...  So, looks like the drop in TV prices I was hoping for in the next year or two won't take place for a while longer! (sigh)

<br>John&gt; Thanks to Frank and Stephen for their suggestion to try out the<br>John&gt; Analog side anyway, maybe I&#39;ll still have basic analog on there.<br><br>And I do!&nbsp;&nbsp;Cackle cackle cackle!&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course, I won&#39;t be surprised if
<br>sometime down the line, Analog cable get shut off when they convert<br>everywhere to pure digital feeds... :]<br><br>Thanks again guys, life is pretty good now.<br><br>John<br>_______________________________________________
