Hi,
I have to put my two cents in here cause I feel that the citizens of the U. 
S. are being screwed by the big corporations again.  The transition to 
digital TV and Digital hi def radio is designed to save band width and power 
for broadcasters.  No one has thought of the millions of consumers that now 
have to buy power hungry digital to analogue converters.  I have yet to see 
either a battery operated digital TV or a battery operated high def radio 
though both have been promised by the electronics industry for years.

I guess only time will sort it out.
