Because with digital, you won't be subjected to such trash. No one wants
to watch garbage like that when they don't have to. The whole reason I
switched to digital over 2 years ago was because of the lousy pictures
you get on analog channels around here. Over half the vhf analog stations
are unwatchable due to interference on the lower vhf bands. And all this
is a mute point anyway. It's going digital like it or not. And all the
*****ing in the world isn't going to change it.
