  • Our cable provider (my parents like cable TV) had analog channels even like 2 years ago, but they started encrypting everything which required purging the analog selection.

    This sucks. At worst analog would be grainy, digital just keeps cutting out in worse conditions.
    I wish there was also still analog OTA TV for this reason. Much easier to pick up usable signal.
