It may be that the reason for few TV repairs is that that technology sector is in flux at the moment, in a way it wasn't in the TV heyday of, dunno, the 60s to 80s, when change was fairly slow (a new TV channel being a huge national event). Recently when my father passed away I literally couldn't give his TV away because it hasn't got enough HDMI sockets to interest anyone, even my brother in law who is in his late 60s dismissed it for that reason.

Plus, more and more pixels. "HD" is now low-resolution, heh.
