New Facts Just In - By the End of the Month, TVSnob Should Have A Gazillion Readers!

Here's some new math for you:

An estimated 800,000 to 1 million adults will buy HDTV (High Definition Television Sets) over the next year, according to a report by Continental Research on Digital TV.
Jon Beaumont, director at Continental Research, said: "Of all respondents aware of HDTV, 2% claimed already to have HDTV, 7% claimed to be very interested and 36% quite interested. From this data we estimate that between 800,000 and 1m homes will purchase an HDTV set in the next 12 months. Potentially one million converts to HDTV will certainly please the manufacturers at such an early stage in its evolution."

I don't doubt a lot of people will buy HDTVs over the next year but how did they come up with those numbers and how many people did they survey?

What do you bet the survey was commisioned by HDTV makers?
