Heh....

When it comes to OTA TV, analog is dead 2/17/09. Thus sayeth the  
government. You can use the monitor for all kinds of stuff, just you  
won't be using it for OTA directly without some sort of converter.

I bought a 30" Sanyo Set with ATSC and NTSC for $450. Thats  
reasonable. They aren't overpriced any more.

My preference would have been some analog backwardsly compatible  
method, but that is water under the bridge.

All I can say is that I get further DX reception via GW and with a  
clearer picture with DTV than analog. I many never see another  
station via Es but for GW DTV is vastly superior.
