The same thing is happening today, since digital TV took over from analog NTSC almost three years ago. I can only guess (and even then I'd probably be way off) how many people thought television was ending forever and threw out the old analog set after hearing those dire announcements over the radio and on standard TV, not to mention reading in their town's local newspaper, that "your TV will go black after xx/xx/2006 and will be useless", or words to that effect, and again when the final DTV transition hard date, 2/17/2009, was announced.
