<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would agree with you in terms of "require",
however what I said was "pressure", which is not quite the
same. Regardless I would observe with a quick look on trademe that
plenty of (analogue) TV's are being upgraded, supporting my proposition of
"pressure" (being realised).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Less sophisticated consumers relying solely on some
salesmen's advice may not be as astute as you, in equipment upgrade terms, thus
I would need more convincing that there was not a pressure to discard old for
new, further encouraged by abandonment of Terrestrial analogue
broadcasts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can imagine a number of peoples decision thought
basis being....ow well the TV is old, it does not get direct analogue anymore,
if I have to upgrade now I might as well get HD as well. (Assuming of
course that is an option... ) If the broadcasts continued the decision
referenced could well be postponed....perhaps for a number of
years.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What will your parents (and grandparents?) want and
do?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course that does not mean I will wait till
I have to upgrade!</FONT></DIV>

discarding analogue gear, whatever gave you that idea? Analogue TV cards won't
be as useful but they can still be used to capture the output of a digital
tuner (after all that's exactly what I use mine for). HD requires new
equipment, but HD has nothing to do with digital vs
analogue.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Steve<BR></DIV>
