...and will be for a long, long, long, long time, I don't see how you can claim that it's "fading."
But, I've seen stranger claims posted here. :-)
Follow Ups:
I know a lot of broadcasting is 1080i.. My local PBS got 1080i capability
and bragged about it endlessly.I imagine it will be a while before they upgrade again. But after this year you will see a slow drift towards all digital. I don't think companies are in any sort of rush, but if you were buying gear now, you wouldn't be buying analog.
It's not simply a matter of the station upgrading and the consumer upgrading. There is a reason no one is broadcasting 1080p over the air--it's not practical. Even 1080i and 720p are tough to broadcast without resulting in compression artifacts.
But again, as we've been trying to tell you, interlacing is not an analog technology. It's a way to trick the eye into thinking it's seeing solid frames without having to broadcast solid frames--which reduces the bandwidth required. That's why it was important for analog sets that didn't have the processing power of new HDTV sets, but you're wrong in thinking interlacing is an analog technology per se.
-------------Call it, friendo.
You need to do some research. 1080i is not an analog standard. I don't think most of us will be around to see 1080p broadcasts as the standard.

Indeed. It's a pretty safe bet to say that broadcast resolution won't go beyond 1080i in your lifetime.

Fer real. This may be where I draw the AV line :-)
