In many cases customers can't wait for the receiver to break down so they can justify buying the latest model with that special 'plug'.
I have had customers ask me to set up new TV's for them, in every case their old set was working fine & once the new set was installed they were more than happy to let me take away the old one!

It has to be said that these things are getting bigger & bigger, the last one I installed was a 60" monster, in a 12 foot square room!

The last CRT sets were pretty horrible, when did you see a Vestel 11AK47 model. It's ages since I was asked to fix a CRT set.
It must be at least three years in my case, apart from one elderly customer, I never see any still in use. Even the pile at the tip is all flatscreen stuff!
Although I still use a little 14" Panasonic in the workshop
