Ofcom - 6 out of 10 homes have digital TV
LONDON (Reuters) - Nearly six out of 10 households were receiving digital television at the end of 2004, as satellite TV provider BSkyB lost share of multichannel homes to Freeview but gained against its pay-TV cable rivals.
The latest quarterly data from media regulator Ofcom, released on Wednesday, revealed that 14.8 million homes, or 59.4 percent, had digital TV as of December 31, 2004. That was up from 13.9 million, or 55.9 percent, at the end of the third quarter, and 50.2 percent penetration a year earlier.
