Well, what percentage of U.S. tv stations were broadcasting in DTV in
November 2007?  What percentage of U.S. tv stations are broadcasting in DTV
now?  (It's not 100%, and many will not be able to use their authorized
facilities in full until after the sunset of analog?)

What percentage of TVHH in areas of Germany where there is no analog get
their TV over the air?  How about Sweden?  Italy?

You're quite foolish to even think that the percentage in the US will go
down after analog shut down.  Is someone just going to go around putting
people with analog sets out of our misery as a public service?   (it's not
murder, it's 'social subtraction.')  Or, will they just stop watching TV?

Most of the people with DTV reception capability also subscribe to cable and
satellite.  They're still 'early adopters.'

John Willkie, who wonders what percentage of TV hh won't even know about the
end of analog until after analog FSTV broadcasting ceases.  

P.S.  I can say that the death of analog has become a minor point of
discussion in my mother's neighborhood.  They are being alarmed, even though
they are all cable subscribers.

One Percent of US households receive HD via OTA DTV after ten years of
trying.

What percentage of that ONE % have cable and satellite also? What %
have OTA as a backup and use it little or not at all?

I expect that to go lower after analog shutdown.
