I was actually the guy who switched off the analogue headend in the cable company I worked at , if memory serves me correctly it was a good two years after the launch of digital . We want from rapid STB for channel surfing , clear pictures to over compressed super sluggish pace boxes , bit of a backward step imo , but it was the race to be 'digital' I think now with v6's and 360 boxes and very good compression of HD services 18 years later digital is finally a better experience in some ways over analogue . Channel surfing isn't as quick , picture quality on HD is better , SD's are worse , but we have vod , replay tv , online tv services , now the problem for TV on the whole is broadband using up the RF spectrum.
