That's why I'm so keen on Virgin Media being a super-aggregator of content. When the technology becomes obsolete, VM is responsible for replacing the hardware as their boxes are rented.
Well, it is the nature of technology, but not the nature of the consumer.

Televisions manufactured as late as 2013 are affected by this. The average consumer apparently buys a new television every seven years, which will leave a significant number of users with no intention of replacing the set having to explore other options.

It of course suits you to have Virgin, or someone else, manage this however not everyone wants a pay-tv subscription in order to do this. Some people just want to switch their TV on and go.
