How does one "recoup" one's "investment" in a television set?  I've always
thought of a tv set as being a sunk cost, but maybe you get paid by the hour
for watching tv, and you made more because you were watching a digital set?

I SOLD that TV Bert. AFTER it gave me enough years of the service it 
was intended for to recoup my investment. I NEVED did see an HD 
program on that TV. There was noting to watch for most of the time I 
owned it. I DID watch a lot of SD-DVDs on it. It did not bother me 
that they were in letterbox, just as it did not bother me that the 
entire screen was filled when watching analog TV.
