SNL Kagan data also indicates that cable penetration of homes passed peaked at 65.5% in 1998. As of yearend 2006, cable subscriptions stood at 65.4 million, or 58.4% of 111.9 million homes passed, according to the data. Due to two recent quarters of declining cable subscriptions, this figure is likely to drop further by the end of 2007, SNL Kagan said.”

HDTV (High Definition Television)
is here today, and it’s FREE!

See the Public Service Announcement

Don’t be misled…
you don’t have to use a pay service to have “High Definition Television” (HDTV)

According to two recent studies, HDTVs are now in about one-third of all homes, making it increasingly important for pay TV operators to deploy a strong high-definition offering if they wish to retain current customers. And the Consumer Electronics Association predicts that some 27.7 million new HD sets will be sold in 2009.

TV executives this week also pointed to advertising softness in the fourth quarter

This is pure and unadulterated BULLSH!T!!! You can barely watch TV for all the @#$@#$#$#@ commercials every seven minutes. I just don't believe anyone's cutting back on ads, I'm sorry. And if they do, it's a blessing.

I put up a nice antenna on the roof. Lots of good HD coming in now, with about 2 or 3 channels per station. Better than cable quality, and totally free.
