NTSC is obsolete, that argument is over.. When I got into old TVs all I needed was an antenna. Then I needed an RF modulator. Now I need an HDMI to composite converter followed by the RF modulator, and the picture is still better than ever. I wonder how long the string of converter boxes will be in another ten years, to put a picture on my predicta

I wonder the same thing, and I hope that it will continue to be possible to use adapters/converters as the years pass by and specifications come & go. Not only is there the issue of having hardware that can do the signal conversion, but there's also the specter of HDCP or other DRM schemes that could throw a wrench in the works if one day the industry decided to ratchet them down even more than they do today. But, there's hardware available to compensate for that as well -- it's a cat-and-mouse game.
