Mark, I think your disagreement is with the blog. I quoted
from this URL you pointed out:
> <http://blog.ultimateavmag.com/joelbrinkley/>
Quoting:
"The Consumer Electronics Association collects data from dealers
every week and puts out reports showing what the dealers are
buying. So far this year sales of digital sets are down. As of
November 4, dealers had bought 3,491,513 digital sets from
manufacturers. Last year at this point they had bought 3,550,291
digital sets. That's a drop of 1.7 percent.
"During the same period, dealers purchased 13,950,023 analog
direct-view sets, 13.3 percent fewer than in 2004."
End quote.
The "noise level" comment is a reference to their 1.7 percent
drop through 4 Nov. Perhaps his numbers disagree with the CEA
numbers.
