Most of the UK missing out on HD

**MIG-31** · Dec 11, 2009, 04:31 PM

A staggering majority of UK consumers are not getting the best out of their high-definition (HD) televisions, according to a survey.
Although 56% of UK households now have an HD television, 91% still watch standard DVDs and get their television through standard set-top boxes.
Full HD broadcasting can be viewed from Sky, Virgin and Freesat but will eventually be available on Freeview.
