VHS IS DEAD.
You have an interesting view of "dead." According to CEA's latest household-penetration statistics, 85% of U.S. homes have a stand-alone VCR, admittedly down from 90% last year; 36% have a TV/VCR combo, which is UP from 35% last year.
What has installed base got to do with it. The real question is how many new units are being sold. From yur stats above it would appear that only combo units increased in the installed base last year. This market is also dead if they have to put an ATSC tuner in.
