FAA ADS-B Out NPRM needs your input

It is also irrelevant for the vast majority of people. If you have cable
TV or satellite the changeover is a nonissue. It only matters if you are
getting your signal over the air such as by using rabbit ears.

How so?

Most of the cable system's local channels are picked up from over the air
broadcasts, and then transmitted to the user over the cables. If there is
no analog signals being broadcast, the signal being sent to the consumer
will be analog. That will require a converter, then.

I would imagine all of the cable only networks will also be using digital
broadcasts at that time, also.

Are you thinking that the cable system will be using boxes that will have a
built in analog output? I have not heard that that is what they will do;
have you?

If that is so, I will still have a problem. I have 1 TV in the house hooked
to the box, with the rest using the raw cable signal, to provide independent
viewing, at least up to channel 77. I would still need converters for those
channels.
