We have millions of vinyl records and eight-track tapes taking up space in our closets because electronics makers sold us on a digital future with no way to bring our analog past along for the ride.

The rest of us will buy analog sets with built-in digital converters and wait for steep markdowns on those high-definition beauties. The network revolution is coming, though, and quickly.
