I can't agree that TV sets seem never to break. The only times in my
life when I've bought a new TV was because the old one broke. Unless
you count buying a used tiny TV at a yard sale because the price was
so good. The tiny TV (which also plays radio) is on a shelf in the
kitchen so Tim can't use 'but my TV show is on!' as an excuse not to
wash the dishes. It will need to be replaced or something after this
digitalization thing occurs.

I have yet to play a DVD player, so I don't know how often they break.

Lee has a radio that plays just the sound, not the picture, of TV.
Does anyone know whether that will be changed by the digitalization?
