Hi,
In Holland the transition to digital tv is going slow. The Netherlands ase verry densly populated so more than 90% of the houses have a cable connection. There are about 40 analog channels on the cable. The cable cie's (there are 3 big ones) would like their subscribers to go digital because they have a bandwith problem. They also offer on their cable broadband internet en telephony. So the cable cie's would like to get rid of the analog channels and are even giving away free setup boxes.
But the consumer does not want to go digital. On 1 cable connection they can hook up as many TV sets as they want. With digital cable they need a setupbox for every set in the house (and the offer to get a free box is only for 1 box). So the consumer just continues to watch analog TV on the cable. The analog transmition trough the ether has closed down, nobody has an antenna anymore.
Radio is a different story, there will be FM and AM analog radio broadcasting for a long time to come because of the radio's in cars.
