In Cambridge, this has already happened: I was playing with a secondhand TiVo from a friend in August, and hooking the TiVo up directly to the cable line got me a lovely Blue Screen with a "Message From Comcast: as of July 15th, 2008, all Comcast cable services are digital only. If you are seeing this message, you should plug into your cablebox; if you don't have one, call 1-800-COMCAST."
I believe they were still legally mandated (until Feb) to do certain broadcast networks in non-Digital, but I couldn't find them looking through the channels. (I didn't investigate hard once I realized the TV I actually cared about didn't work.)
