tv's every 5 years (eg 20% a year) then their is no 'rapid' deployment of HD
sets, it's just the natural replacement cycle that is growing year on year as
it normally would any other TV 'feature'.</p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>I still own a TV that my wife and I bought 25 years ago and it works fine. My newest TV is more then 5 years old, probably closer to 10 years. I buy things when I need them and buy them for duration. With the price of everything going up I bet it will be a few more years before I need, or will buy, another TV.

I mean I have been dissapointed that out of the 400 or so channels here on Time
Warner NY we only have about 20 or so in HD, but based on those figures I can
see why networks aren't exactly rushing out to replace everything in HD.<br>

<br><br>Just my opinion, but I know others that think the same. <br>
