Do people expect the digital to lower? Would the elimination of cheaper analog, if nothing else, potentially induce the lowering of digital costs?

I don't subscribe to TV(only internet), but someone I know who has analog cable TV is concerned that Cox will ditch their analog service(as mentioned above) and only have digital, inducing customers to cancel or upgrade service. ]]>Feb 11th 2008 12:53PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/
anyone know how the rules apply here?]]>Feb 11th 2008 9:56AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/
the upcoming cutoff only applies to analog broadcasts over the air (OTA).

This is the first I've heard of a cable company announcing to cutoff their analog signal. Cox pretty much took the opportunity to say "you can subscribe to us and still be fine for 3 years!". when, in reality they're just announcing they're going to screw those people in 3 years.

this is actually a really good thing for most of us, When they stop broadcasting analog, that will open up a HUGE amount of bandwidth for more digital services. more HD, more channels, more on demand, etc.. which, for cox means more $$$]]>Feb 11th 2008 10:12AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/Feb 11th 2008 11:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/cox-vows-to-keep-analog-signals-around-for-three-years-after-cut/Feb 12th 2008 2:51PM
