Default does anyone know if canada will be going all digital on february 17th 2008

Does anyone know if Canada will be going all digital on February 17th 2008 along with the Usa. I find it very confusing having some channels still in analog n the same ones in digital. My Canadian provider is Cogeco. The analog channels are 002 to 068 & the digital channels are 902 to 968. So it makes it hard to tape shows to watch later i like to watch them on digital when i set them to tape on the 900`s it will reset itself it go to the analog channels. So i hope someone can answer my question. friend200013

The conversion to digital broadcast as noted in your previous question, is 2011 (in Canada) but your cable supplier is not bound by this and is likely to supply analog as long as there is people to pay (they might go to a conversion box if the client base warrants it, and they can squeeze extra dollars for the rental). The limitation of your VCR is not considered by the cable company and the digital channel line up is totally arbitrary and at the discretion of the cable supplier.

Might be time to consider OTA (over the air broadcasting) and a nice HDTV with a digital tuner (fixed channel line up), mated with a PVR your enjoyment of life will take new boundary's.
