Now that's a lot of HD TVs!

What a lot of people seem to be missing (not on here, but out there) is that HD will become the standard for broadcast. Like digital, it's going to take a long time until the non-HD programme doesn't exist, but over time more and more programmes will be made (or at least transfered) in HD.

Only a matter of time albeit quite a bit, but we'll have been in there right from the start.
