UK consumers ‘unlikely to buy 3D TV’ - Telegraph This is hardly surprising, but it does make me question where we are in terms of each generation of TV which has come and been ignored by many people, whether intentional or not. Digital TV through cable, satellite or freeview has been around for a decade now, but still there are quite a few who can’t even keep up with that. Then there’s HD, also available through cable, satellite and freeview now. With freeview having no monthly fee combined with improving aerial signals and a high adoption rate of HD TV sets, you would think that these numbers would be soaring, but I don’t think they are. People often end up with an HD TV with no HD sources plugged in. Sometimes an HD source plugged in with a standard definition cable and so on. Games consoles like PS3 and Xbox 360 don’t help because they don’t include the HDMI cables in the box, and instead give you PS2 style composite cables, which is ridiculous, but it’s been that way since 2006 so it’s not worth going into further. It’s not a question of being elitist by having blu-ray and HD. It’s simply about taking advantage of what you have under your nose that you could be wasting. A £10 cable will elevate your Gaming and Movie watching experience massively so it’s always worth seeing what you can improve.
