Perceived life of 1080i acquisition and production gear?

There is nothing wrong with keeping 1080i30 in a future format, and
let it die a natural death (on the equipment owner's timeline) much
as 480i has in most facilities.
Actually, I think we were trying to say the same thing. There is more
than perceived value in the existing broadcast HD plants - there is
little incentive to upgrade until things settle out with the
"spectrum grab" and broadcasters come up with a plan for the future.
I suspect that the ATSC is looking at h.265 for a next generation
standard; but more important, I expect that CBS and Sony will demand
that 1080i is part of that next standard.
I doubt that the broadcasters who survive the next few years are
going to have the good sense to tell the congloms that it's time to
write off past mistakes and start over. Meanwhile consumers are
investing in next generation devices that are not broadcast
compatible.
