Mainly because they are unaware of any differences or to safeguard their
investments from their children.

Far fewer people have S-VHS and S-VHS ET than the capability to have 5.1
surround sound.

HDTV, which there have been plasma, CRT direct view, CRT projection, LCD
projection, LCD direct view, and DLP projection devices made for that standard
as well as other developing technologies like LEP direct view.

As for acceptance, the FCC is pushing for the halt of NTSC broadcasts and
integration of full HDTV broadcasting. This is something that will happen in
the near future, so a purchase of an HDTV is advised if you are in need of a
new primary-use television. A set top converter should also become available
for those not yet able to purchase an HDTV set.

NTSC is going to be phased out and replaced with HDTV to catch up with Europe
and Asia (particularly Japan, as they have had a functioning HDTV broadcast
system [Hi-Vision] and an HDTV play-only video format [MUSE/Hi-Vision LD] for
years now), which was the whole intention in the first place. - Reinhart
