It doesn't matter if digital TV is great. It's just not the governments job to dictate this.

I just told you a very big reason for it. The cable companies want to push for digital so they can totally control the market. The other reason is what the other guy said it takes up less space. That means more profit for the cable companies.

They use lobbyist to make it an issue in congress. It's the way things work now days in our govt.
