The March 2007 date is when all new TV's sold must have a digital tuner. So effectively, no analog TV's will be made after that date, at least for US markets. The end of analog broadcast, as you say, keeps moving and exisiting analog TV's will live on for years with converter boxes. But the clock is ticking on analog TV.

I'm wondering if Sirius and XM will be the only digital radio solutions or will there be free digital radio someday either ground or space based.
