good old tuners going obsolete

Well I didn't getting any feedback on my post about the Marantz ST-7001. I know it is one of many that will be the new wave of the future. Already radio stations are advertising that they are launching HD channels. Which means that if your using that much cherished - - - - - - - - ( fill in the blank with your favorite tuner ) you will not be able to pull in any of the HD channels, you will be limited to only the channels you are receiving now. And it is my understanding that some of the stations are already planning on putting different programing in the slot that is available to analog tuners. Of the high end tuners I have been able to trace so far, only Marantz and Magnum are making HD tuners. What I just can't figure out though, is why people are so willing to shell out big bucks for these analog tuners here and on ebay. They will soon be next to worthless :(

Kt_88,

I don't follow any of your arguments, and I can't follow your evidence since you haven't presented any, but I've decided resistance is futile so I'm choosing to believe you're right.

Got any analog tuners you're looking to unload? In my blissful ignorance, I want to be surrounded by many lovely glowing dials when they all go dark in Feb 2009. My quest starts today...

Armstrod - I can't add to the argument about when or if this will happen but if it does, the tuners will only go silent, not dark.

Macrojack,

I guess my sarcasm wasn't obvious enough...

At least the stereo light will go off...

Well, when I was younger it used to drive me crazy when someone differed with my opinion. I found I was quite insulted that someone dared to have an opinion different from mine.

Now that I am older and more seasoned. I have learned that someone's difference of opinion to mine is just that. A diffence of opinion. Not an attack on my person.

At ease gentlemen.....
