WHAT?! I thought that they were supposed to be PRESERVED! What's up with that?
Well, I'm just assuming. I could be wrong. I'm sure they're being taken care of, however if they are reel to reel they will degrade over time.

I have a modern DVD player in my TV... How would a laserdisc set hook up to it? And what if I bought one, and it broke? Can you even get them fixed anymore?
A laserdisc hooks up to a TV the same as any component (VCR, DVD, etc.). However I would hook it up to my computer, do a high quality video capture and then author a DVD with the captured video (unless someone knows of a better method for laserdisc to DVD conversion). I'll probably check doom9.org for more info before I get started.
You can get ANYTHING on eBay, my friend.

What about 'laserrot'? Don't the discs eventually degrade over time?

Well, I'd have master files on my PC. So "laserrot" is not a concern.
