still need five more years
ya but how many of them use the compont connection,how many have HDMI how many use it for HDef just because you have it don't mean you fully use it and allot of the older Hdef Tvs can only handle basic newer Hdef thus its going to need more time I dunno 5-10 years sounds about right the only way to effectively get the consumer attention is to offer it cheaper that and the shifting/growing/changing standards make it about 10 years to turely replace current "non" Hdef and gen 1-2 Hdef TVs
Hmmm, not even a third in the USA, that's not so good for people looking to cash in on the HD bandwagon.
Here in Europe the number is far far more tiny too.
Years to go in this one IMO.

Would be nice if 28% of my cable channels were HD...
Better yet, of the HD channels, I do have, I wish 28% of their programming were HD!

You will soon see Cable and Satellite providers providing/selling down converters for those who do not have a HDTV. I know Comcast, Dish Network, and DirectTV all have the this in the works to provide their customers downconverting boxes for Non HD Sets. The time has come where enough people have HD sets and the Cable/Satellite companies are ready to move forward.
It's going to take more than five years cause only 7 channle is high def. Seriouly i don't see the difference between tube tv and high def. High def looks better but not that impressive to pay extra $15 bucks for cable box.
