Is it Mandatory or Voluntary for Cable Companies to Switch to Digital?
Cable companies are not required to switch to digital service, but they may choose to make their service all or partly digital – it is a business decision made by the cable companies. The FCC requires cable companies to continue to provide local stations in analog as long as they provide any analog service, even after the final deadline for the DTV Transition, which is June 12, 2009.
