Yes, as of today they will still function, but keep in mind Shaw is trying to get rid of analog all together. So now they can check sclitheroe's house off as "no longer needing analog"; as there is a DCT for each line in his house.

I'd send it back, and tell the CSR you have an elderly parent who finally figured out how to use a circa 1994 Sony remote; and you do not want to make the switch to Digital.
That is a very good point that I had not considered.

However, its not like they will just randomly shut down analog to one person's house, will they? It seems like the time spent doing it for each house would be very time consuming, only to have to reverse it if someone moves in who doesn't have or want digital. Or are you saying the plan is to make nodes "all digital" and then remove analog from that node and not have it as an option for new people who move in?

Eventually analog will not be an option for anyone, and refusing a digital box won't change the fact you will need to change later.
