80% of TV Viewing Still in SD
Apparently the HD revolution hasn't really caught on like everyone has thought as a new survey found that 80% of TV viewing in the US is still done is Standard Definition. 56% of US households have a HD TV, but that still leaves 44% of people happy with SD TV's. It surprised me that the number was still that high, but Yahoo News breaks down all the numbers over here.
Most households in the country now have an HDTV, but that doesn't mean we're watching television in HD.
In fact, fully 80 percent of TV watched in the U.S. is still viewed in plain old standard definition, even though 56 percent of U.S. households have at least one HDTV set, according to the Nielsen Co.—and even though more and more network and cable TV programming has made the jump to high-def.
