I read this interesting article this morning from Seth Shostak (SETI) about the U.S. changing over to DTV.  It never occurred to me until now:

Seth Shostak. "Aliens Lose in Switch to Digital TV." Space.com 18 June 2009.  19 June 2009 <http://www.space.com/searchforlife/090618-seti-aliens.html>.
If you want to end your misery, start enjoying it, because there's nothing the universe begrudges more than our enjoyment.

Now THAT is truly something to ponder.  Wow.

I don't know how they are going to go on without being able to hear "Lucy..I'm home"!    ;)

As Karl Sagan pointed out, if anyone is picking up our analog TV broadcasts now, they are probably watching Adolph Hitler preside at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin.  :)

Maybe we'll start seeing in upsurge in alien visits as they start wondering why that ghetto planet in the hood with all the violent haters suddenly turned off the loud music that's been keeping them up all night. They'll be like, "Hey, did the Zorlocks finally destroy Earth?!? It's awfully quite over there. Oh no, never mind. It's still there. Oh well."
Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

I think they already did.  It starred Jodie Foster.  (sorry....I couldn't resist).  :P

Aliens will be making contact now that is for sure.
They will land, walk out of the spaceship and say
"TAKE ME TO YOUR CONVERTER BOX!"
Or for those who don't have a universal translator but have seen "Mars Attacks"
"ANCK, ANCK, ANCK ANCK!
;D
Sounds interesting...Go on.
