Amen. I've got a 1975 Chevy half-ton pickup that I bought ten
years ago. For my less-than-daily driving habits, it's fine.

+1 to Martin's comment, but in addition --

some people have /multiple/ TVs of different capabilities and sizes.

A big TV with cable in the den, medium-sized TV hooked to a VCR in
the kids' bedroom, small under-cabinet model in the kitchen, maybe
a 2-inch-screen battery model with antenna to carry into the yard,
to the pool, etc.

Guaranteed they won't /all/ be letter-box digital models ...
