with limited funds,tv watching is not my highest priority,and being a low brow / i enjoy my cable analog picture, i have near decided to buy a rptv analog
(if my reasononing is correct & correct me if im wrong)!
1. i will never watch enough (if any) dvd.
satisfied with vcr& never buy dvd movies to watch over& over
2. i'm satisfied with cable picture & wife hates the bars/widescreen/squeeze/possible burnout scenarios
a. like the box shape/4:3instead of rectangle shape pic.
3.a good rptv analog is cheaper than any hdtv recommended and probably cheaper than any junkie hdtvs we may afford!
a.(if i spend a grand now,im out nothing as long as i get my same picture and tv holds out(my philco rptv lasted until this month since around 1986 & still had a good picture until power supply board went out(i need one)
b.save 1500.00 to invest that woulve went toward an hdtv.
c.analog technology is proven/my tv lasted long enough!
d.hdtv is new &possibly still improving(how long will they last?...will technology further improve?
e.repairs will be higher for hdtv(all my local repairmen have no clue what is inside them/ how much it may cost etc..
f.hdtv programs are few and cable on a analog looks good versus hdtv doubling every little line crawlys/noise
g.improved hdtv will be much cheaper in 2006 (much less than an rptv analog now),because the next best technology will be pushing it out...lol...via direct holographic imaging onto your coffee table,direct to mind tv imput,or whatever!(just like the cpu industry ,always improving (monthly noless)making your system cheaper & outdated,
h.if i'm not satisfied in 2006 or later with my picture or tv, i can chuck it at little loss of investment or just buy a box to get hdtv(correct?)signal and still have a picture.
or say my tastes change... wanting that improved hdtv or new mind tv that just hit the market...LOL.... i'll have the latest then until whatever new comes along again
i. my latest model rptv cost averaged a 100 dollars a year according to my rptv price when bought in 80s till it quit)an hdtv is higher avg.yearly cost (if it lasts as long)!
i'm a good fella and hope not to cause a big whoopteedoo here against the (i got the latest thing) people! ,but i add this ,just to give a thought out to/for guys
who...aint paying for a hdtv i dont quite like & my analog is good enough
