plug-&-play TVs (12,000 on Comcast systems). In contrast, Comcast has

- July 1 -
- The FCC has released its full notice of proposed rulemaking
(based on last month's decision) to look into postponing the 50% deadline
for DTT-reception circuitry in 25-to-35-inch TVs beyond this coming July 1:
<http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-17A1.pdf>
- This week I've listed 90 advertised TVs 36-inch or larger (I'm
still on the road, but I collected some of the New York free tabloids on my
way through town). Of those, 22 (24%) have integrated DTT-reception
capability.

- Neither the FCC nor the NAB updated their lists this week.
- Doug Lung's RF Report notes that the FCC CDBS database listed
671 licensed U.S. DTT stations as of Sunday:
<http://www.tvtechnology.com/dlrf/one.php?id=759>
- The FCC has released end-of-year figures for analog TV stations. There
were 1748 full-power stations then, higher than the 1722 figure for DTT
that includes stations not yet on the air and DTT-only stations. Here are
the figures (again, all are analog):
- UHF commercial full-power - 777
- VHF commercial full-power - 589
- UHF non-commercial full-power - 257
- VHF non-commercial full-power - 125
- Class A UHF low-power - 493
- Class A VHF low-power - 110
- Other UHF low-power - 1553
- Other VHF low-power - 481
- UHF translators - 2631
- VHF translators - 1823
Total U.S. analog terrestrial TV transmitters - 8839:

- Food for thought - In the first quarter of 2004, the FCC received 175
complaints about cable and 693,080 about broadcast (largely indecency):
<http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-256718A1.pdf>
In the second quarter, it was 169 about cable and 272,818 about
broadcast:

- The Roanoke Times has an interesting story on the DTT transition and how
some broadcasters are being forced to buy expensive equipment that may soon
end up as a "boat anchor":

- International H/DTV news:
- Sony will reportedly sell only DTT-reception-capable TVs in the UK
in sizes larger than 26-inch:
<http://griffin.dtg.org.uk/news/news.php?class=countries&subclass=193&id=634

- The UK DTT pay service Top Up TV reportedly has 160,000 subscribers
after about nine months. Break-even is aid to be 250,000. The ten-channel
tier costs UKP7.99/month (US$15):

- According to DisplaySearch 3.6 million plasma panels were sold globally
for TV and public display in 2004. 42- and 43-inch grew to a 73% share.
42-inch 480-line panels, alone, represented 54%. Only in Japan do HD
panels outsell non-HD:

- Consumer Reports has a free guide to display technologies. The URL is
enormous; it's the second one. The first will get you to the home page

- Based on figures from CEA, sales to U.S. dealers of non-H/DTV television
sets for the first three weeks of 2005 were down 23.7% from the same period
in 2004. I think those figures are pretty useless; give them some time.
My ten-week running average was down 17.4%.
Sales of so-called "Digital Televisions" to U.S. dealers for the third
week were 60,147 units and for the first three weeks 173,779.
"Digital Televisions" (most of which are HDTV displays without
DTT-reception capability) accounted for about 15.8% of the TVs (not
counting plasma or direct-view LCD) sold to U.S. dealers through the third
week this year. It may be worth noting here what that means. About 84% of
the non-plasma, non-direct-view-LCD TVs sold through the second week this
year were still plain non-H/DTV direct-view TVs with picture tubes.
To qualify to CEA as a "Digital Television," a display need only be
capable of dealing with at least 480p; it need not be capable of either
receiving digital signals or displaying them. Devices actually capable of
receiving DTT signals are still a small fraction of those numbers.
- Ads for set-top DTT receivers: I'm aware of only the Humax at J&R.
- The ads - I'm still on the road, but the ad volume has dropped
considerably now that both Christmas and the Super Bowl have passed.

- According to CEA, sales of DVD players to U.S. dealers for the first
three weeks of 2005 were down 50.5% for the first two weeks. I think that
figures are pretty useless; give them time. My ten-week running average
was down 39.7%. VCR sales were down 30.7%.
- Macrovision today announced a new DVD anti-piracy system called
RipGuard, said to be effective against 97% of available DVD ripping
software. That suggests to me increased sales of the other three percent:

- Everyone knows mobile phone screens are smaller than TVs, so video
sequences need spatial reduction. Now they're also getting temporal
reduction -- one-minute episodes created specifically for mobile phones:
