When did I say anything about digital TV? You are the one who keeps bringing that up. You are saying that digital tv is driven by the broadcast industry. I am saying that the broadcast industry no longer drives video technology like it once did. That's two different things.People are fond of bringing up the fact that there is no 1080p broadcast content in order to justify why it's not necessary to get a 1080p capable display. That's just totally asinine. The simple fact is that advances in display and video technology are stepping ahead of what the broadcast industry can or is willing to offer. Because of that, the broadcast industry now has less to do with advances in video technology (unlike in the past, it's not the driver anymore).
The analog spectrum is not "going away", it's being taken back. Over a decade of kicking and screaming by the broadast industry can't be twisted into "we can't wait to go digital".
Read? That's good advice. And if you would but follow your own advice, you would realize that you are the one who is wrong.
