Just 5% of Europe's HDTV owners watch HD programming {Engadget HD}
Mar 5th 2008 5:10PM This really isnt surprising. I live in the UK and we always get technology later than you do in America. So HD TV's are really only just catching on and people have only started to buy them on mass recently. I know this as i work in a sony centre. Also there are still a large amount of people who hardley even know what HD is and are just content with the standard freeview digital channels. Also as said above is that to get HD, the only way is via SKY which will cost $500 and then to get all the HD channels about $80 a month. And there are only about 15 HD channels actually available at this time. SO basically until the companies reduce the cost and increase the amount of channels, noone will really buy into it. And this is in the UK which is probably one of the most technologically advanced places in Europe!

Oct 3rd 2007 12:08PM Hey guys. Love listening to your podcasts over hear in the UK. i makes me mad though about how much HD content you get over there. We get no HD freeview at all. The only way to get HD tv programmes is to get it from sky which costs around $80 a month for all the channels (all 11 of them) as well as shelling out $600 for the box to watch and record it. Arrrrr want to come to America to watch my TV ha ha
