Speaking of Sony, saw an article in the paper last week that Sony isn't making a profit on their electronics anymore, and might sell that division off. If Mitsubishi buys them, I hope they don't call the new operation "Son-of-abitchi"... (Running, ducking for cover...)

Sony did the same thing with SDDS digital movie theatre sound systems. They weren't making the monster profits they thought they should, so they dropped the system flat, leaving owners of the SDDS systems to fend for themselves. Right now, Sony is building the digital theatre systems that is helping to wipe out 35mm film in theatres. The first generation digital projectors are already out of date, and don't like updates. I'm sure Sony will drop them flat, too, one day. |

I found a theater that uses 70 millimeter film. They thought that they could make us all buy a plastic picture frame and hang it on the wall.Till it fell off anyway. The world has become a very greedy place.

You guys want to know what I really think?
Digitization of old programme material is bullshit, pure and simple. 1. If it was digital in its original form. then it is fine to display that 'sampled' content in the digital realm. 2. Any content originally recorded in the analogue realm, shall persist in that realm, whether the corporations like it or not. It is up to the VTR/tape/vidicon camera/CRT guys to maintain a healthy library of " REAL " content. Same goes for HIFI Audio... digital will never suffice versus grooved media and magnetic tape. If I truly appreciated PCM audio and DVD video at first, I would NEVER want to be in the a/v community today. Thanks, zenith2134. |

This thread makes me happy that I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I could EASILY have all the major electronics and appliances I'd ever need from the trash and thrift stores. I'd traditionally say except for modern game consoles, but it's come to the point where even those are so disposable that I could find them without too much trouble.

I have to agree with you I don't know why so many people trashed Good Working CRT Televisions for the Flat Screens? As for tv signals, I live in a rural area and we get real good reception through the use of our converter box. We get stations now that we couldn't get through Analog. The closest station to us is 90 miles. We getsome stations that are over 100 miles away. I didn't buy and expensive antenna either. I bought one for around $38 and put it up on a tv pole. I also installed a rotor and control box and that helps alot with getting the best signals. I won't subscribe to satellite tv as it can become way too expensive. Also, don't watch that much tv anyways. I would love to see the day when CRT Consoles and TableTops come back but I am sure that isn't very likely. My folks always had a Console TV and I plan to keep using one as well. The only difference with theirs and my console is they didn't have to worry about the little converter box to select the channels. By the way, we still have that TV that I grew up with and it still works great. We had to have a new main board(module) put in April of this year, but other than that we had never done anything to it. It did get used alot too as when my sister was living at home she always had the TV on so it seemed!!!

I like 8 tracks too. Also, have to agree with digitization crap. I think it would be nice too if they could have left things they way they were.

The digital thing, just a bunch of suit dummies wanting more cash.

Recently, I advertised a 20" RCA with jacks for $20 and a 27" Magnavox for $30 on a local facebook buy/sell page with zero interest; but, let someone advertise some POS Funai-built flatscreen and people are fighting over it. I'm a rat's behind away from not bringing home anymore TV's, unless it's something for me. I'm to the point where I'm tired of dragging this crap home, fixing it, and having it sit here from now on because everyone has turned into a snob. Used to, I could sell any kind of working TV I got my hands on because people didn't care - they just wanted something with picture and sound.
