SNL Kagan data also indicates that cable penetration of homes passed peaked at 65.5% in 1998. As of yearend 2006, cable subscriptions stood at 65.4 million, or 58.4% of 111.9 million homes passed, according to the data. Due to two recent quarters of declining cable subscriptions, this figure is likely to drop further by the end of 2007, SNL Kagan said.”

And the Consumer Electronics Association predicts that some 27.7 million new HD sets will be sold in 2009.

And there aren’t that many choices yet in my area.

Maybe Mark Cuban can start throwing insults at the president of Time warner, then apologize for it on his blog.

You know you're an "HD bigot" when you watch "Sunrise Earth" over breakfast every morning. (Guilty as charged!)
