>>Here's a question.  Someday I may want to get a new digital TV set.  
Will my analog VCR and DVD player play through a digital TV?<<

Play?  Yes.  Record?  Probably not.  The few current models of VCR are being sold without tuners, because it's considered a nearly-dead tech by the manufacturers.  DVD recorders would need a digital tuner, and so far I haven't seen any that have it.

The few digital TVs I've seen have at least one regular set of line inputs (video, audio-L and audio-R) and one set of 480p color-separated inputs for a DVD player (labeled Y, Pr and Pb).
