We had an RCA Colortrack 19" for the bedroom we got in 1990 at Sears. Worked great but in 2003 it started getting a little fuzzy and it only had RF input so we got a new 25" RCA model. I opened up the old set and fixed the focus but the high voltage blew out a day later, either because it was inevitable, or the focus stressed it too much.
Dish networks HDTV in a box?

(since someone just referenced this thread)
There are some reports that the DVI port on the TV has been coded to only accept E* boxes (time will tell if this is true).
There are many devices starting to come out with DVI/HDMI:
Some new DVD players
JVC's next gen D-VHS (with atsc)
Other OTA tuners
I would guess that upcoming HD DVD will also use HDMI (perhaps the component will still be there, perhaps it'll be down-rezzed, or not at all).
Personally, I'd stay away from this TV if the DVI port is restricted.
(remember that HDMI and DVI are cross compatible with a simple adapter)

Once upon a time RCA made some very good TVs, but they have gone downhill big time ever since they were bought by Thomson :-(
I still have two 15+ year old RCA TVs (20" & 27") that perform flawlessly, but would be extremely hesitant to buy one today.
