You obviously have no idea of the possible value of an archived TV

Or for tens of thousands times the price of cheaper stock. I know
you're arguing with an idiot, but keep it real:-)

The cost of the stock is only one thing. The cost of constantly
transferring material as the storage medium fails quite another if you
take labour into account. Many early TV progs are onto the 5th generation
of storage medium. Often recovered from near worn out equipment kept going
by a prayer.
