Apple's iTV: Apps Are the New Channels
Would seem very wasteful to be chuck a 40/50inch/whatever TV in trash/rubbish every 2 years just because it doesn't run the latest software. Whilst phones have a history of that, TV has the best part of century without it.

Why put it in the trash? You can use it in some other room, the garage, etc... I'd put a two year old 40" in my office happily.

Because none of your channels work anymore, they all need iOS 8 and a quad core CPU. Unless your talking about using it as a monitor?

We already have all of the TVs we want in the house (two), and there's certainly no other room that would benefit from having a 42" TV in it.

Bathroom is for quiet soak in the bath with a good book.
