<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I was thinking the other day after reading somethng
about the cable companies must still do the old analog channels until
2008. Once everything goes completely HD what will our options be
with our Myth boxes? I guess it really depends on the gear todeliver HD
content, if there is any outputs (I doubt they will be hd outputs but you never
know)</font></div>

it to the Myth server? I have Bell but not HD and its not currently hooked
into my Mythbox.. thats my next project once I upgrade my myth box so I
can use a video card TV out rather than my 350.</font></div>

All of those involve what they HAVE to provide (local networks, etc), not what they can NOT provide. The cable companies can and will provide analog only channels for as long as it's financially prudent for them, and as long as the huge majority of televisions in this country do not have digital tuners, and as long as customers react negatively to paying for settop boxes, there will be analog services provided.
