I am not sure there is any part of the world in which TV is still being broadcast as NTSC analog; however, I see your point. With flat-screen digital TVs being so plentiful and even cheap these days (until you get into huge TVs with very large screens and newer display technologies such as OLED, et al., many if not most of which are selling for $1000 or more), restoring older NTSC televisions is only a hobby, engaged in by many of us here on VK. Don't forget, the picture quality on a properly adjusted flat-screen HDTV can and will rival that seen on even the best NTSC TV, owing to the much better quality of ATSC DTV signals, and the sheer size of the screens. I have a 32" Insignia flat screen which makes a much better picture than any NTSC set I've ever owned or seen in my life; I would not go back to NTSC, even if I wanted to or could.
