I think that's the heart of it Jay, that DVD players work with every
color TV ever made, NTSC or ATSC, only depending on having the right
connectors and cabling. Sure, it will be harder with a Zenith console
from 1965, but I don't see why it can't be done. My advice is to buy a
real tank of a DVD player (I went with Denon) and several Wal-Mart
cheapies and then sit back and enjoy the fireworks. Can you imagine
the flood of used DVD's that will hit the market if either or both of
the HD formats take off? DVD's ain't video tapes. Unless you let the
kids or your pet wolverine play with them they'll likely last decades.


DVD is so awesome because it makes the most out of NTSC,is highly
durable, is compatible with everything, and has been so widely accepted
you don't have to worry about support for it disappearing tomorrow.
Damn near perfect if you ask me. I intend to enjoy it for many years
to come.
