Me? A luddite? @ Jan 17th 2006 2:37PM

Reasons to keep my analogue cable signal:

1 Cheap

2 Excellent picture quality on my EDTV Plamsa

3 One cable coming in, going to: two TVs, two video recorders and two TV tuner cards in my media PC. All excellent picture quality.

4 No ugly set top boxes.

Reasons for going the digital route:

1 Expensive: Need 6 set top boxes? Need to lay in more wall sockets?

2 Ugly and cumbersome: Need six set top boxes?

3 DRM?

4 Variable picture quality depending on how many signals they try to cram in?

5 Unknown future standards � MPEG 2, MPEG 4 etc.
