It's one reason I have not bought an HDTV so far as the analog looked
so bad on them, but that's been a few years ago I last looked.

If you wait until Feb. 2009, it won't make any difference since analog TV
will disappear then.

I suspect that the digital cable versions will look as good as the analog
versions. They do so on satellite, although pixelization is sometimes a
problem (much better now than a few years ago).

No it won't. LPTV stations have no date set as yet for digital
conversion. There are a lot of LPTV stations.

There may be "a lot of LPTV stations", but few viewers.
I live in the 5th largest DMA in the U.S. and can't receive
any LPTV stations.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe many cable or satellite services
carry LPTV channels. The digital transition is likely to generate
new subscribers for cable or satellite service.

NTSC video will be available on output connectors
of cable or satellite boxes for many years beyond 2009.

OTOH, it looks like they won't get any transition spectrum even after
2009-2-17, so look forward to flash-cuts to digital ... or shutdowns.

As far as I know, there is no must-carry for LPTV. I've heard of some
that do get carried in some places, but it's apparently not a widespread
thing.

Probably for decades.

What's an LPTV? One of those Magnavox consoles with the turntable under the
sliding panel?
