50% of HDTV Owners Don't Use HD

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the blinking-12:00 dept.

Ant writes "Broadband Reports and Techdirt posted The Technology Liberation Front's article that said apparently half of all High Definition Television (HDTV) owners don't actually use the HD capabilities of their set, and nearly a quarter think they are watching high definition video when they actually haven't set it up correctly. Set-top box maker, Scientific Atlanta's survey, noted that HDTV sets will be in approximately 16 million homes across the country by the end of the year."

    Well 90% of everyone buys Windows and thinks thier computer is actually doing stuff. I guess HDTV awareness is much higher than microsoft awareness!

    That was quite a post detailing how stupid you are. Let us all know when you get your 'correct' room for watching TV. We'd love to hear more of your buffoonery.
