The statement that analog broadcasting in the Netherlands will cease in 2006 (april 1st). Only counts for antenna receivers. I guess less then 1% of the people in the Netherlands use a analog antenna (only 3 channels and cable access almost everywhere). Analog broadcasting will remain to continue on cable.
However some cable companies are providing free set-top boxes for digital television. The downside is that it will only work for 1 television (most homes have more).
