For six years now I've posted a poll in the AVS Forum Hardware section, asking how the members receive HDTV. I was a bit tardy starting it this year but, after 60 days and 403 respondents the poll is finally closed.I've cross posted my final summary post below but much more detail including all 6 polls can be found on the AVS poll thread, at<http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=818087> Summary AVS post follows: -----------------------------------------------------------------------Okay, the poll is closed now, with 403 respondents, final answers at the top.Let's look at the trends a bit. PC cards and integrated TV's haven't changed all that much over the 6 polls so let's ignore them for the moment and concentrate on some visible trends. This has mostly been a happy story for cable, at the expense of DirectTv.Percentage AVS members using various most popular HD STB's over the last 6 years:
uh, not exactly the MOST popular, since for 2007 OTA only box gets 12.9%, and integrated DTV gets 7.7%, and integrated TV with HD cable gets 4.5%
Year D* E* Cable 2002 46.21% 13.10% 1.38% 2003 53.36% 7.17% 5.38% 2004 44.20% 10.12% 14.81% 2005 39.91% 6.01% 22.32% 2006 37.22% 6.53% 22.73% 2007 20.60% 7.44% 34.24%
In this chart you leave out everything that does not cost money for programming.
