Just Say NO! To Digital TV?

[illuminati]

What do you think of this guy's arguments? Here is a brief intro and the rest at the bottom:

With the help of the U.S. government, the TV watching public has a unique opportunity in the near future. On December 31, 2006, the analog television signal that TV stations have used for more than 60 years will be turned off. Kill Your Television will become a reality!!

Consumers will have a choice in 2006: Permanently unplug their television and embrace the world of reality around them -- or -- Spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to upgrade to digital television (DTV). Digital television is basically the same crap that is on TV now, just clearer.

The whole point of DTV and HDTV (high definition television) is to offer a clearer TV signal -- at a price. And the price will be steep in two ways: First, the actual cost to the consumer for the new DTV products. And second, the cost to the environment as thousands of perfectly useable televisions are rendered useless and placed in trash heaps. The point of the TurnOffYourTV.com web site is for people to unplug from the tube, get rid of their television sets and replace them with books, exercise and rewarding interpersonal activities -- not to trash the television and replace it with a more expensive one.

According to HDTV industry cheerleader Consumer Electronics Association, the move to digital television will bring lots of new revenue to the TV industry. Sony, Mitsubishi, RCA, and GE will make lots of money. "The cumulative unit total for sales since product introduction in the fourth quarter of 1998 [is] 7.3 million. Dollar sales for 2003 are $4 billion, which elevates the total consumer investment in DTV products to $12.7 billion," said CEA in October 2003. The organization expects millions of people to upgrade over the next few years.
