But you still cannot receive an analog broadcast even though there are "legacy" connectors on the TV is the point.

Maybe that's already been thought of. I don't know.

Unfortunately there may be some who have to go back to the drawing board, if this doesn't work for them. I'm keeping an open mind until after the announcement.
Still a tough parallel to draw. FM (music) is broadcast in analog. Very low adoption of HD radio.

Sorry no. Most inexpensive consumer TVs cut out most legacy ports. No VGA, no headphone jack, and no analogue audio outputs.
Also, there were plenty of HD TVs on the market before the conversion. But they weren't very popular. Sound familiar?
There was little HD content before the switch, and what there was was hard to find. A little like lossless audio and the iPhone. If someone wanted a Lightning headphone now, I wouldn't recommend it because it's nowhere near plug and play even though it has the potential to sound much better than what the iPhone is capable of outputing through its headphone jack -- and that's not because of the DAC, but mainly the amp.
What is the change this is supposed to drive? We already have digital content which seems to be an argument you are making. And why would a tiny amp hanging on your earphone cord have so much more quality potential?
By legacy ports on TVs I mean for analog content. RCA and s-video inputs. And analog tuners.
