Honestly, don't look so surprised. Just under two years ago, some
15-percent of American homes had at least one HDTV somewhere on the premises, and not long after, estimators were suggesting that a whopping
82-percent of domiciles would be HDTV-equipped by the end of this decade. Earlier this year, a more recent report found that
over one-quarter of those residing in the US of A owned an HD-capable set -- though we'll never live down the embarrassment from the hordes of owners who've
yet to figure out how to operate them. Nevertheless, an updated study has found that "more than 30 million US households now have at least one HDTV," and judging by recent sales figures, has estimated that 52 million homes will house an HDTV by the end of 2008. Now, how's about a few more
HD channels for the growing sect, eh?

TV networks are so stupid. They still doing stuff with 480P 4:3. At least give us widescreen so we don't have to see those side bars. And don't get me started on commercials.

TV mfgrs need to make a deal with cable/sat providers. Ex. buy a HD set get an HD stb free. I know people who own HD sets and don't actually watch HD (they still have the old stb). Sad.

I just hope we get almost all channels people watch and all programs in HD soon. I just hate watching a good show on say NBC in HD, and then have the next show in SD.
