The tube has nothing to do with the analog/digital switchover. Tubes are just going away because of the convenience and economics.
>From a storekeeper's perspective, just think how many flat screens you can stock compared to similar tube screens. That's a big market motivator. I don't remember what the current date is for the "final" phase-out of analog TV....it keeps being delayed. It may never completely go away in geographic areas where the spectrum isn't that valuable.
