Well, they shouldn’t turn it off any time soon, just like they don’t turn off analog radio. TV is one I can understand where turning off old methods makes sense, because people upgrade their TVs and use IPTV much more likely anyway.

Got bad news for you. They are starting in some places.
The Swiss public broadcaster shut down it’s FM channels at the turn of 2024 to 2025, at the end of next year all of the others have to shut down as well. It’s moving to DAB+ only, it’s a big pain for older cars.

You update your TV more than your phone? I don’t feel that’s the regular way of things.

You don’t have to upgrade the TV itself. If the TV cannot handle the new format on its own, external box is enough.

I meant like the elderly might still be using a dumb phone, but not a CRT TV.
