At end 2006, 12.8m households were equipped with HD-ready televisions-an average eight per cent penetration of TV homes. We expect the number of HD-ready households to grow to 94m at end 2011 (56 per cent of TV households). Of the current 12.8m HD-ready homes, we estimate that only 520,000 were already viewing HD-quality broadcasts at the end of 2006, mostly from pay TV (390,000). So about 12m households have an HDready set but are not viewing HD pictures.
