Purchase a TV with built in HD tuning.
My cabinet won"t fit a 16.9 wide screen. So a 4.3 that shows the black band on the top & bottom of the screen while showing 16.9 format is fine.
A CRT ( picture tube) is still the cheapest, highest definition picture and lasts the longest.
Pass on the plasma, LCD or projection unless you have to have a screen larger CRT"s are made in.
Anaolg communications is going. Channels 70 to 83 went to cellular phones 20+ years ago. Channels 84 to 100+ went to trunked communications before that.
Two way radios for business and emergency services is going to APCO-25 standard. Takes up less bandwidth and allows more users. It"s also a single compatable standard.
Currently communications is like VHS,VHS-C, beta, 8mm,high8, 8mm digital etc. Nothing works with each other"s system between agencies.
So if your local gov"t is putting in something other than APCO-25. Someone is either "out to lunch" or getting paid off under the table. That equipment will be coming out to be replaced with APCO-25 long before it"s worn out.
AM & FM broadcast radio will eventually be replaced as well with digital.
Analog communications is like the passing of the steam engine.
