“Only 4% of global homes will actively watch HD programming by the end
of 2008. However, this represents nearly 44 million households, up 19 million
from the end of 2007. By 2012, Informa forecasts 179 million HD active homes,
representing 16% of TV households. ”

Following several false dawns, HDTV is finally on the brink of mass market
acceptance. Set and settop box prices have fallen substantially in the last
two years. National free-to-air broadcasters are launching HD services, which
will further stimulate take-up. Digital platforms now use HD channel provision
as a differentiator against their competitors. Major sports events such as the
Olympics and Euro 2008 have spurred FTA broadcasters to provide more HD
programming.
