I suspect the purchase and adoption rate for digital will shoot up to
100% once the analogue screens go blank.

Not as long as cable/terrestrial decoder boxes still have an analogue
output.
Digital is long gone in the Netherlands, we still watch TV on our 1987
Sony TV.

I assume that the issue is people not buying a decoder box.

Not the age of the TV that they connect to it.

I responded to "half of all television sets in

Well yes, but they don't mean "more than half the TVs
are analogue", they mean "more than half the residents
only have a box that decode the analogue signal".
