Don't hold your breath!

I do miss analog TV, and liked that old TVs were still able to operate on their own without external equipment, but I have to say that I also really enjoy free over-the-air HD. I also really like the extra sub-channels and the networks that have sprung up to occupy them.

It is a conundrum, to be sure. The all-or-nothing nature of digital certainly is a hassle, and the broadcast radius has shrunk when the stations went to DTV. In very rural areas, they have set up retransmission stations to help with coverage, but most other places just have smaller coverage area now.
