</div>Well we are replacing them with Digital OTA in most cases.<br>
<br>
TV signals happen to be in a band that is excellent for long distance<br>
coverage. Makes sense for TV signals really. Of course some people<br>
think we should have mobile internet services in those bands instead or<br>
at least in addition to TV.<br>
<br>
Digital OTA takes less bandwidth for much more picture than analog could<br>
ever do, so overall it is a nice change, but it does obsolete a ton of<br>
existing equipment.<br>
