When broadcast television goes 100% digital in 2009 (Federal legislation requires it) will you buy a new overpriced TV or just quit watching broadcast TV? In my area there is no cable available, and we will probably just quit watching at all. How about you? Are you happy with being forced to either subscribe to cable or buy a new set?

Yes. I will comply with the 100% digital TV. Reason is TVs are cheap today compared to 20 years ago. I'm sure I will be able to pick up a small TV, 15" screen, for less than $200 in 2009. Competition between TV markers dictates so.
As far as TV bashers,I grew up with intellectuals making fun of TV programs. What those eggheads failed to realize is TV binds us together. At the water cooler, at the local pub, or just hanging out with friends, TV programs are often talked about. Of course, it's a low art, creative medium most of the time, yet it might be low art, but it's the most popular means of communicating and art form today. By the way, I do subscribe to telephone cable and enjoy the extra channels.
