Why do you think the government is pushing so hard for digital TV & doing away with analog TV?

Answer 1

It is a decision to free up band width, digital signals are smaller and more compact allowing for more "stations" or other users to fill in those empty spaces, it is needed for Cell phones, police frequency's, ect. Like it or not it is a technology for the future. .

Answer 2

1. digital signals can be easily identified and controlled
2. more channels in the same band (a frequency ussualy holds a single channel if the signal is analog, a digital frequency holds a range of 3-6 channels)
3. more channels means more tax money (broadcasting permits and so on)
4. safety reasons... many analog broadcasting channels boost their signals during bad weather and as a result Analog signal creates noise in the surrounding frequencies (in some cases it has been noted to create noise in the communication channels). Digital signal on the other hand comes out as a straight line without creating noise.
5. european union has decided that all broadcasting mainly for safety reasons and the limitation of radiations will be digital by 2013
