They continue to offer the analog service here (Pittsburgh-McCandless) but are cutting down the channel selection by the salami method. I suspect they intend to reduce the analog lineup to the point point no one will want it.

I believe local law requires them to provide the three major networks and a few other stations such as the local access in exchange for being allowed to provide service. I expect the law to change, however, soon after the air goes digital.

The waiting list for coupons is now 6 weeks, so a lot of elderly, poor, and rural customers will soon be without any tv (even if they do figure out what they have to do) while the coupon agency catches up. I expect a similar problem when the cable companies switch over.
