[LM_NET] Old televisions

[Maureen Smischney <msmischn@KELLIHER.K12.MN.US>]

I am a Library Media Specialist in a small K-12 school. Our classrooms all
have TVs but most of them are quite old (many are 15-20 years) and cannot
be connected to DVD players. I understand that purchasing a RF Modulator
for each TV should solve that problem but what about the new digital
change coming February 17, 2009? Should we be considering purchasing new
digital ready TVs?

The problem that needs to be solved is:
Which is more cost effective in the long run?
        - replacing TVs
        - purchasing RF Modulators for old TVs that might not last many more
years anyway.

What are other districts are doing?

Please reply directly to my email address. I will be glad to share the
results if anyone is interested. Thanks!
