I found this section of special interest because all of us know that we are everyday closer to the deadline, the day in which our rear projection TV sets are going are subject of either upgrade or replacement.

Incidentally, I met my brother at the mall today and he was somewhat confused fearing for this change because, according to his own words, his 8mm movies suffered the detriment with the need to transfer them to a video format, first Beta and then VHS.

Those home-made films are from his childhood (the 1960s) so a valuable treasure that every technology update seems to be injuring. Just early this century, he transferred the movies to a DVD format and now he is scared of HDTV demanding something else.

I told him that is up to poor quality of vintage filming produces and maybe not-so-qualified services doing tithe transfers, but I don't believe that HDTV will distort his movies projection as I don't believe he can use his old rear TV set once that the change occurs.

What do you think of this?
