My old analog TV and analog VCR DVD HiFi Combo has plenty of life in them yet and I wont be retiring them any time in the foreseeable future.

If you are paying $2000 - $3000 on a new HD1080 TV just to get 3 new stations, you're spending way too much money and for the wrong reasons.
We have a Panasonic LCD Full HD and Panasonic twin HD DVD recorder. It's great for recording, editing and burning all my
Time Team episodes,
Catalyst specials and a variety of other doco's.
I'm sad to see the old technology slowly disappear because I spent a good part of my working life repairing the "old technology". I have even repaired my fair share of valve TV's!
I recall a conversation with my boss back in 1986 quite vividly. We were in the TV workshop wondering if one day we would see televisions that "hung on you loungeroom wall like picture frames". How technology has advanced.
