No, your marginal analog television reception should have been the driver
for cable in your circumstance.
You seem to think that broadcasters and the NAB conspired to make you pay
$35 a month to watch tv as high in quality as dvds. Me, I consider marginal
television to be unwatchable, even if they are showing Pamela Anderson sans
clothing.
If there hadn't been any dtv, it's quite possible that you would have lost
over the air television entirely within a short time. Nothing is static,
despite what we may desire.

Asunto: [opendtv] Another vote against ATSC
"I already miss analog. Tonight, I hooked the new POS digital box to the
old analog set. We now get 6 televangelist stations with remarkable
clarity. Telemundo is perfect. The shopping channel is now 4. But, of
the 6 stations of real commercial programming, only 3 are somewhat
steady. Signal strength claims to be high, but there is motion blocking
that makes Max Headroom look normal. The audio glitches (mutes) every
few minutes during a critical phrase (never during ad's).
Analog was a little fuzzy, but it always worked. The audio was there
even if the picture wasn't. DTV is a conspiracy to drive us to cable
subscription."
