Yep, CRT TVs used to usually last for many years and you simply watched
TV. 

These days it's all become a massive gimmick fest by TV makers to try
and con the public into throwing away their current equipment every
year or two and buying a new over-priced TV set, set-top boxes, and /
or services they don't really need.

 - LCD / Plasma / LED
 - DVD / Blu-ray / 4K Blu-ray 
 - DVD recorder / Blu-ray recorder / Digital recorder
 - TV / HDTV / UHDTV / SUHDTV / 4K / 8K
 - Widescreen / Extra-widescreen / 3D / Curved / Smart
 - Freeview / Freeview Plus / Sky / Streaming
 - etc.

Unfortunately in this throw-away society, it's not just TV. The same is
happening with mobile phones, computers, etc. as a newer, flashier
model is released every year and fools rush to constantly upgrade.  :-\
