The cable companies got rid of the analog boxes long ago.
I do not doubt that they will benefit from this decision but the local OTA television stations - they get paid anyway from advertisments. You will see a whole lot of converters (boxes) for over the counter sale in places like Wal Mart. Also mostly every tv made now is at least a SDTV (the new digital standard) and will not be affected by the Feb 17, 2009 switchover. If you currently have a SATbox or cablebox, your old analog tv will still be able to render an image.
