Re: [IRCA] OT (Off-Topic) Question on TV Brand Reliability

[Thomas L Jones <ka1yhi@xxxxxxxx>]

I have been in TV sales & service since 1971 I wouldnt touch it 
with a 3 foot #8 nutdriver....
Also if he has cable no need to upgrade anyways, wont see a difference.
I recomend all looking at new TV's read this artical.
Its a new ball game now. No more cheap repairs IF you can get the 
parts EVEN for a brand name set. Get the extended warranty 
from the manufacturer ( cheaper than the stores ) that way you
are good for 5 yrs.
