Indeed, I've already decided that I will not purchase any digital ready television equipment before the mandated cut off. Possibly not even until well after that point. Why? There is a lot of crap, and the stuff I do watch arrives over cable where they will undoubtedly continue analog transmissions for quite a while after the DTV cut off.

The same will apply to audio also. While I don't absolutely have to have new music, it would be nice. If content providers make it so that I can't rip the CDs to play on my Squeezebox, they will have lost my money. I refuse to swap CDs and retired my CD changers because they really couldn't do what I wanted.
