Are consumers using the digital transition as a reason to buy a new TV?

A recent report in the Washington Post highlights a growing trend in purchasing high definition television (HDTV) sets, instead of opting for a $40 (Forty-dollar), analog-to-digital converter box coupon provided by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, (U.S. department of Commerce). 

Recycling centers and landfills across the country are preparing for a surge of unwanted sets in coming months

TVConversionhelp’s take:  A lot of older TV’s including portable and small handheld devices simply cannot be hooked up to a digital converter box…..Just how big of an overall effect does this have on consumer demand for new TV’s?
