In Britain, in about four years time, hi-def TV will be the only one you can receive, which means that I will have to replace my three at considerable cost, in addition SKY says that we will need a new digibox at around £300, but there's more, in a year or two, all sets will have to be digital to receive transmissions, so I'm looking at combined costs of around £3000 if I do it in the two stages, & I think I'm going to have to, as I can't afford to buy three hi-def sets in eighteen months.
What's the position outside of Britain?
Even those using direct satellites, look as though they'll have to buy new TV's.
I am guessing that in the US & Canada you have hi-def already, but if all this happens, what about the many poor countries?, some rely on TV for education, even some remote Scottish isles do.
