NTSC, was Re: 6 axis ARCNC100 CNC board with constant contouring turned on

With analog TV (NTSC & PAL) broadcast being stopped in the next

ARCNC100 at some point?
The analog sets won't disappear overnight, but I expect that with no
one broadcasting in that format they won't be sold like they are now.
