Bull. Never happen..

too many analog tv's out there to expect that. It's been a rumor for two
years or more now and rumor is just what it is.

Barring major legislation it definitely will. It was originally scheduled to
happen in 2006 but kept getting delayed by nervous politicians. The 2009
date is often referred to as the "drop dead" date for analog broadcasts.
Now keep in mind that about 80% of the population gets TV signals via cable
or satellite. In both cases the provider will provide the conversion. But
don't expect to receive over-the-air analog broadcasts come early 2009.
