>>>Virtually all TV's sold now are HD<<<
Not everyone wants to buy a new TV. Many want to keep the old ones they have. Many would rather spend $40-$50 on a converter, than a couple thousand on a new TV. Plus, if they get cable, they don't have to do SQUAT to their set.
>>>Soon no more analog broadcasts.<<<
The switchover is to digital, not necessarily HD. Don't confuse the two.

as I understand it, there may be a rebirth of the still permiitted low power analog stations in urban areas..The sad part is that most of the govt converter boxes will not still pass through an analog signal from an antenna and setting up a configuration that will permit switching back and forth might be more complex than many will want to try. I'm waiting to see what pops out on analog locally after Feb 17th..there is one station currently but my reception is not good to the point of being unwatchable. It may turn out that some of these low power analog channels are now able to improve their signal.

This may be like vinyl vs CD

Despite the ads to the contrary, analog is NOT complely dead after Feb 17
