It seems to me that Australia has done a better job of attempting to recycle the old analog TVs than the U.S. did in '08-'09 after our switchover.
Realizing that the recycling of 'e-waste' often damages the environment despite good intentions, it is IMO preferable than just dumping all of those CRT sets in a landfill.
Better yet, hopefully some collectors in Aussieland will preserve the old tv's.
What analog system did Australia switch from? Was it NTSC? I could look it up, but I figured it would stimulate conversation on the forums if we discussed the standards used over there .
