Now... if we could just start getting a few more channels? Maybe ABC HD soon? How about Comedy Central HD?]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/Jan 26th 2009 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/
I wonder if the study counted folks who view HD content on their HDTV sourced from the internet? I imagine that I watch at least a few shows a week that way since I don't subscribe to any TV service.]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/Jan 26th 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/Jan 26th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/
By the time we're done you'll be paying $100 a month to watch the handful of channels you care about. If you complain we'll give you 3 months of free HBO to make you feel better.]]>Jan 26th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/
Oh and this doesn't include whatever you pay Tivo. ]]>Jan 26th 2009 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/
Personally, I get my HD over the air and it's excellent, not to mention free. :-)]]>Jan 26th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/
Every time I am over I show them but the next time I am there, SD is on the HDTV. I think the biggest problem is where the channels are located. If Fox is channel 5 then they watch channel 5 when they want to see something on Fox, they don't think to turn to 193 or whatever convoluted channel the cable company put the HD Fox feed on. I've showed them how to bring just the HD channels up or set them as favorites, doesn't help. My cable provider does it right, all the HD channels aside from a handful are 5 + their basic cable channel, So the HD Fox feed is 505, ESPN SD is channel 24, ESPN HD is channel 524. Not to bad. God forbid my in-laws would ever have to use the digital tuner for clear QAM! I can't imagine explaining to them that the HD version of channel 5 is actually 113.2 or something like that.....]]>Jan 27th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/Jan 26th 2009 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/
They seemed to only count cable and satellite HD programming. Hard to blame them, since most people are oblivious to the fact that you can hook up rabbit ears to your HDTV and get many local station's HD programming (like Lost tomorrow) for free.]]>Jan 27th 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/significant-gap-found-between-us-hdtv-ownership-and-hd-program/and charge 15$ or less for new release blu-rays ,that would jump start bluray sales.
