Izz! Why are the Joneses across the street throwing away their TV? Do they know something we don't know?

No. They got a new one — bigger and better. I heard Mr. Jones talking to Dad yesterday. Their new TV is digital. Have you heard about the switch to digital TV coming up soon?

No. Relax. Our TVs are fine. We'll just keep watching cable as usual, or else use a little converter box. No need to throw out a perfectly good TV. BUT — if you do decide to get a new TV, make sure you recycle the old one! Throwing it in the dump could put gross chemicals in the Earth.
