Yes, the *CEA*, when talking about receivers. This is different.
This Nielsen report is not talking about the monitor or TV set per se.
This 51 percent refers to households that are actually using DTV
*signals* for their TV sets. The sets may even be an old analog CRTs,
but the signal is digital, in this statistic.
It says that even if the majority of cable users still use the analog
tier, when you add it all up, the majority of TV households in the US
today get their TV signals in digital format. I don't believe that holds
anywhere else?
