I imagine there might be a few hold outs here still viewing analog TV SOMEWHERE in their home.

Though I bought my HDTV in 2003, it wasn't until some time later that I bought the HD tuner. Even then, only received a couple of stations in HD. When I changed the antenna weeks after that, I received a few more digital channels. Simply put, I adopted so early I couldn't get all the stations in digital as they didn't all broadcast yet. About 2004 to 2005 that changed, but I still had analog in my room.

I mention this alot, but my brother generously gave me a 26" Visio HDTV for my bedroom in October of 2007. That marked my official end of having to view analog anthing.

Oddly, I miss the opportunity I would have had with my new DVD/VHS. It has a digital tuner and would like to have seen that work on the old tv.

So, who's holding out, and who is all digital?
