Oh, please, it isn’t! The world is a bit bigger than the USA, and Legacy covers more than one country.

What I'm saying is the technology just isn't up to where it should be when we have glitchy signals even with cable.

Like digital TV signals which are still glitchy and sometimes you lose the channel for hours. Technology is moving too fast just to get it into the stores and make money without doing more testing first. Not sure where you are from but most areas of the USA ONLY have digital TV signals these days. Thats what all the fuss about analog set-top receivers was a few years back when they STOPPED sending MOST tv signals analog and all are now delivered digital.

I suspect with touch screens, the failure rate will be high and I'm sure it is expensive to repair. All that poking at the screen probably wears the monitor out real quick.

WAAAY back-in-the-day (early 1980s), a national chain had 'em in a store-near-me as an improvement; some improvement. Instead of my handing an employee a piece of paper with the "Bin 7, shelf 2 C" written on it, I was supposed to "touch" the 10 numbers matching my order number; except the screen didn't want a touch, it wanted a serious WHAM! Inch forward a decade and a touch now works, but only if you touch the exact middle pixel of a starburst. Ooze onward to summer of 2013 in an air-conditioned room (ambient T in the hi 60s) where heat-sensitive touch-screens weren't sensing enough heat to register - between each touch I had to rub my touching finger against the bunched fingertips of the other hand.
