Free-to-view DTV now in 25% of Australian homes
Digital Broadcasting Australia (DBA), the not-for-profit industry group
coordinating the transition to digital-only broadcasting, says take-up of
free-to-view digital TV has passed the 2m mark, or around 25% of Australia's
7.8m homes.
In the last quarter of 2006, 302,000 free-to-view DTV receivers?including
set-top boxes, digital TV recorders and integrated digital TV sets?were sold
to retailers and installers, raising the cumulative total shipped to more
than 2.3m since DTV transmissions began.
DBA said when allowing for 125,000 receivers still in shops, and the 175,000
homes with more than one free-to-view receiver, the actual take-up stood at
2m by December 31, 2006.
The last quarter of 2006 saw "strong retail demand" for flat-screens
equipped with digital tuners; integrated digital TVs took 53% of total DTV
sales to retailers and installers.
