Seems to me that the BBC HDTV trials, Peter Wilson (and others at IBC
2005), and Mark Schubin, are all in agreement that one can improve on
720p acquisition by going to 1080p. Even if this latest EBU test didn't
make the specific comparison of 720p vs 1080p acquisition, I'm not sure
why what you say above should be so hard to accept. It seems kind of
self-evident.
On another subject, your survey results seem to indicate that OTA
integrated TVs and OTA STBs add up to at least 20 percent, except for
2004 and 2005. As you say, with the tuner mandate, that number will go
up. But by itself, that increase will not indicate use of DTT.
I'd expect the OTA STB figures to spike up before 2/18/2009, then drop
as integrated TVs and integrated recording devices are sold.
