Not all of us are starting out from scratch and instead a lot of money is tied up in older formats.

I require S-Video. I will not throw my DVD player into the trash just to upgrade to a new pre-processor. I also will not purchase a blue-ray player just to upgrade to a new pre-processor, since I watch newer movies by streaming and do not need a blue-ray player just to get HDMI output.

While we are on the subject of older technologies, I own about 50 VHS movie tapes, which I periodically watch. I hope no one expects me to throw these tapes and my VHS player into the trash (and buy these movies all over again on a disc)just to upgrade to a new processor.

So if I cannot watch these movies anymore using existing formats, then I will not upgrade to a new processor.
