Don't be critical since you don't appreciate vintage formats. Most of us are techies at heart who enjoy new and old. Majority of us expressing unfair on consumers --as forcing us to buy new TV receivers/equipment if Digital TV isn't backward compatible to NTSC. And, YES we would like to use are old TVs without special boxes--the way they were designed to. How would audiphiles feel if new digital format for music made all your current stereo equipment obsolete??? It seems like industry just switches formats to make us purchase more equipment.
