How much more HD do you need over the air? There's lots already!

Currently over the air signals are analog. That will change in February, when these signals go Digital.
MOST OTA signal is digital right now. I get 2 or 3 digital channels for each analog channel.

So only the oldest, non digital TVs, not hooked up to a cable or satellite box will not work. I can't beleive there are that many out there.
Or HD capable sets that do not have a decoder. I have one of each, and do not plan on getting rid of either (I'll put my Sony HD CRT against any LCD or Plasma).

I haven't given it much thought, but I think the TV companies might be behind this whole thing. People can get $80 towards the purchase of either a converter box or a new TV. What do you think most people will do? Yup, buy a new TV.
That's a joke, right?
