Analog TV braodcast being shut off Feb 2009

I think this is terrible news for people in LA. Analog TV in LA and I'm sure most cities in United States actually works. Living in San Diego, this is a total blessing. For the 11+ years I've lived here, Analog TV has never worked. At best you would get OK reception for 2 channels, and 3 channels for an elaborate Antenna setup. The good thing is Analog TV is getting cancelled in replacement of Digital TV which actually works, and works well in San Diego. It finally seems like there isn't some massive conspiracy from the cable companies trying to keep no-monthly-service TV impossible for customers.

Now if only we can get rid of nasty 720p and 1080i, and just have everything at 1080p, it would be great.
