I know what he's meaning to say.  My point is that he's not saying what he

means.  HD TV is current technology. If anything non-HD TVs are not
current 
technology, they're old technology.

*Some* people would have to replace their TV.  The rest wouldn't, I
didn't. 
My parents wouldn't, most of my friends wouldn't.   If you've bought a
good 
TV in the past couple of years it's already going to be HD ready. As time 
move on there are going to be less people who have non-HD TVs, just as
fewer 
people have CRT TVs.
