摘要

Lest anyone forget, the high-definition revolution is, at this point, not much more than a guerilla movement. Very few viewers have HDTV sets. Over the past year, sales have surged for digital TVs, most of which are high-def-capable, but only 5% of all TVs in the U.S. are digital, according to Durham, N.H.-based Leichtman Research Group, which just issued a study on HDTV penetration.
