Try buying an analog (non-HD) TV and trying to get 15 years out of it
in the US.  It'll make a fine monitor for a cable box or a DVD player
or a VCR, but it won't work as a TV after 2009.
 
Would that not be "obsolete" well before 15 years?

To me, certainly.  But then I regard any analog TV as obsolete already, even
if it is still in production.
 
And I don't know anybody trying to put a hard drive in an analog TV.  It
really serves no useful purpose.
