Contrary to majority opinion, I like NTSC. It's a fun signal with a lot of hacks possible. In retrocomputing terms, NTSC is something I don't mind having around and am able to deal with. In watching TV / video terms? Yeah, NTSC is craaaaaappy! I won't miss it either, though I do enjoy the look on some programs. DTV is pretty great. I live in a region where signals are reasonable, and it's just better overall. For the few hours I watch TV, DTV gets it done. On the analog vs digital front, for things like embedded projects, I really dislike digital video. It's resource intensive. Analog RGB or Component is EASY, lean, and clean. Right now, the golden time is ending. If you want analog video gear, good CRT's that sort of thing, it's possible still, but starting to get expensive. I nabbed a nice multi-format PVM for my retro gear / computing experiences, and a few other displays, and a couple TV's to modify to make an arcade cab, with a real, fast, gorgeous CRT. Now is the time! Won't last long. If you want analog, get it. Soon, it will be a curio, rare, expensive.
