I hardly ever watch TV for the past 20 years or so, except a few 
oddities like Twin Peaks, Xena, Ally McBeal, and Medium... so you can 
see I am not mainstream in the least. If not for Netflix and DVDs I 
wouldn't have a TV any more...

I'm wondering - exactly when will analog TV and cable go away, and how 
many NTSC televisions will end up in landfill?

This may have nothing to do with archiving analog audio, but it is a 
fascinating thread...
