Just proposing this as new thread since even though the US analog shutdown is 2 yrs away there seems (to me anyways) more discussion about it on US forums these days.
The links I have included below could have gone in several other existing threads, but none of them deal specifically with this topic. All existing info on DHC has been hijacked into threads dealing with something else.
My position has been that if we are to assume Canada will eventually follow the US lead in shutting down analog transmissions, we should follow the progression in the US closely, so as minimize/eliminate any potential negative impact here in Canada.
So to start for people to new to this topic, a little primer:
