Relax. NTSC will be around for a while.
in 2006, the plug is NOT going to be pulled on NTSC broadcasting, everyone involved realizes now that was an unreachable goal, much like the CARB 1998 mandate that 2% of cars sold in CA would have to be Zero-emissions vehicles. That was shelved, and so has this been.
From tech discussions with those in the know, and such, the REAL plan, is that NTSC will be dropped, when at least 85% of homes have at least ONE HDTV set, and the purchase of NTSC receivers is declined to that ratio, also.
SO, don't worry. the end(of NTSC) is NOT near. not even close.
