From what I've seen, Cox is constantly dropping analog channel
programming and moving that programming over to digital. At some point I
figure the only thing they'll have left on analog will be 3 or 4 network
channels.

Drop channels? When have they ever really dropped a significant
portion of channels. The cable is already crowded. They need to shoe
horn more material into that limited bandwidth. Media General used to
use two lines to get all the channels out to Fairfax county prior to
the last rebuild and takeover by COX.
Look at the satellite groups lots of people complain about the quality
of HDTV compared with the OTA signal. FIOS is the only one with
bandwidth to spare right now.
And cable/fios companies don't re-compress source material - why would
they when they have no trouble sending hundreds of channels? They just
drop a channel to make room.
