Analog to digital in TV-land

Mark Cuban: Shutting off Analog TV, The transition to Digital - It’s Time - Blog Maverick - www.blogmaverick.com _: "The conventional wisdom among cable networks is that the market of HDTV consumers is still too small for them to cost justify investing in new content, equipment and distribution, which for the biggest network conglomerates will reach hundreds of millions of dollars in conversion costs, incremental equipment and distribution costs."

Engadget's Stephen Speicher: The Clicker: From analog to digital: "First, the terms “analog” and “digital” are a bit of a misnomer. Both digital television (DTV) and traditional television are broadcast using analog signals. The difference comes not from how they broadcast but instead from what they broadcast. When traditional televisions tune into an analog signal they see a series of waves. These waves are directly used to drive the television."
