I love the picture and sound quality! It wasn't a digital is crap rant more of an annoyance that according to TV adverts here in the UK, if you don't switch you won't be able to watch TV, which just isn't true. I feel for less techno savy individual (i.e. my nan) there is a certain amount or scare mongering. By the way 1080p rocks! I agree, and indeed I have embraced the digital age.

Signals themselves are going digital, and bringing with them new standards in terms of picture quality and sound quality (and you of all people should know all about the latter). By using an analogue TV with a digital set top box you are effectively taking a very high quality picture and sound signal and then munging them downward into crappy analogue. You won't get 7.1 surround, you won't be HD picture standards from 720p and up. Embrace the technology dude - go digital ;) But that’s missing the point.
