Twenty-nine percent say DTV transition means all TV programming will be in HD

Twenty-nine percent of respondents to a new survey from Frank N. Magid Associates believe all TV programming will be presented in HD after the digital transition takes place in February 2009. The survey, conducted in September of 1238 adults who are 21 years or older, found this incorrect expectation exists among cable and satellite subscribers as well as those who receive their TV signals over the air. Aside from the glaring misperception, the survey offers a bit a solace to those concerned about the DTV transition in February 2009. A total of 96 percent of all consumers ages 21 and older now say they have heard something about the pending digital transition.
