From the October 29 Monday Memo:
- Later in this memo, there is a more thorough report on the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA) Fall HDTV Guide figures, but I thought it
worth noting a few here. According to their charts (some updated in
September and others in October), there are now 312 TV models with
integrated DTT reception capability for sale in the U.S., but there
almost as many -- 308 models -- that have dropped analog tuners rather
than add DTT. Furthermore, there are another 64 models 36-inch or larger
that have NTSC tuners but no DTT-reception capability, clearly violating
the "tuner" mandate. I did not do any calculations on 25-inch to 35-inch
models, only 50% of which are currently under the mandate.
The URLs to the various CEA charts are in that memo.
