I love photos of urban decay and reminders of the former functions of old buildings. TV repair shop signs, for some reason, can outlast the businesses they advertise by decades. It's hard to pack a 60" plasma screen in your SUV and take it to the shop. Repairs still happen, especially when they're cheaper than the cost of a replacement TV. But our friends over at HDGuru tell us that the nation's second-largest brand, Vizio, is quick to declare televisions "unrepairable," even when a customer is willing to pay. Even for problems that other manufacturers are able to repair themselves.
