What wait? Some "digital" features are allready available. Sony has
a new set out with greatly improved definition -horizontally by
more receiver bandwidth, vertically by interpolated scanning lines -
or so I've read somewhere. They also have a new tube with smaller pixcels.
Wider bandwidth (but compatible) VCR's are due out in the fall, also
from Sony (of course) says Video magazine. Video says that VHS may not be
able to match Sony's 20 % increase in definition on tape. I'll believe that
when it happens.
Back on the subject of waiting, it will be forever if you want to wait for
 the new digital features. New ones will be continually invented.
Pick a time and plunge. A good time is when your old set craps out.
