  • Middle East: Tuesday, May 14 - 2013 at 05:09

According to a report by Informa Telecoms & Media, the proportion of global TV households watching HD programming is expected to grow from under 14% at the end of last year to almost 42% by the end of 2017, Digital TV Europe has reported. The number of active HD households will rise to over 600 million globally by 2017, with Asia Pacific emerging as the biggest HD market by that date, followed by North America and western Europe. By 2017, several countries could be approaching the point where almost all viewers would be watching HD content, leading to the possibility of a standard definition switch-off and the possibility of introducing a new generation of high-definition technologies, the report said.
