I think it would have been more appropriate for them to label it 'Sun sets on Analog'.

Just because broadcasters are going digital, it doesn't mean that they are going Ku.

For the FTA enthusiest it seems that the trend is content going to only being available on C-band DVB :(.
 
Good point.

With the new higher powered satellites we can use our smaller aperture dishes. And it's much more predictable to watch (not affected by weather conditions) .
 
"The backyard C-band BUD owner lives on, but his days are numbered along with his program options. The latest example was this summer's announcement from Starz Entertainment Group, which said simply, "We are grateful to the C-band customers who made it possible for the satellite industry to launch 20 years ago. But digital technology is clearly the wave of the future."

On Dec. 31, Starz will end its analog transmissions to all its C-band consumers."




They need to get the facts right, Starz analog will be leaving, and anyone with 4dtv will still get all there channels in digital C-band.
