The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

I'm pretty sure DirecTV will put Sunday Ticket on MPEG-4 next season... And that means I'll be forced to upgrade. :( I then won't be able to use my OTA antenna -- and won't be able to watch Smallville in HD since DirecTV doesn't have TheCW (in the Twin Cities, anyway). Darn! :(
i think youll be fine... i am willing to bet your tv has an ota tuner you can use. I know that means we have to use that dreaded "change input" feature but its better than the alternatives. Even if it doesnt the ota sidecar directv is coming out with is only supposed to be $50, or is that only going to be compatible with the hr21?
Xyzzy - The HR20 and HR21 HD DVRs both have OTA tuners.
"i think youll be fine... i am willing to bet your tv has an ota tuner you can use"
Actually, you'd be wrong - I use a projector and it doesn't have a tuner. Besides, that's not the reason I wouldn't be able to use OTA -- the reason is that I only have 4 cables coming from my dish; I current diplex the signal from the OTA antenna onto a line with the DTV signal to get it into my basement, but once I upgrade, I won't be able to diplex that anymore, so my antenna will be useless :( Running new cable isn't really an option either, since I ran it initially when the house was being built...
I meant to put a smiley after the "you'd be wrong." It wasn't supposed to sound like a jerky comment. Sorry!
