So you’ve gone out and bought that big-screen TV – the sleek, black, 42-inch model ready to accept high-definition television signals.
Only 56% of US households with HDTVs get HD signals
Yet if you are like nearly one in two American households you don’t yet get the HD signal, with its crystal clear display and brighter colors.
According In-Stat, there are 39 million households in the U.S. with an HDTV set, but only 56 percent, or 22 million, of them view HD signals.
The reasons probably vary from the high cost of cable subscriptions to the regional lack of HD programming and the lack of awareness on where to find HD programming.
In-Stat found that globally there are 36 million households receiving HD signals. In Europe, it will be 2011 before 10 million households tune into HD signals.
