Actually, LaserDisc was an analog device, using FM modulation, not digital code, to store information. I still have about 100 of them, all slowly rotting away, with a snowy picture due to problems with delamination of the disc layers. The worst thing about closing the analog hole is the ton's of video projectors, plasma tv's and other stuff that don't work with hdmi. Just toss them in the trash stream and run out and buy a new one. Standard analog TV lasted for years, including my original trinitron, which is 30 years old. My HD projector, with component inputs only, still puts out a fine image. Why should I have to ditch it?
