Leichtman said that about one-quarter of US households had HD-capable TVs in 2007, up nearly 100% from 2005. Not all those households were watching HD programming, however.
"With the expansion of HDTV, there will need to be continued consumer education about high-definition programming and products," said Bruce Leichtman, the company's president and principal analyst.
Over three-quarters of HDTV owners thought they were watching HD programming, but Leichtman estimated that about 20% were not actually viewing high-definition signals.
The research company found that mean annual income for HDTV households was 27% above average.
Not quite 1/3, more like 1/4 (its a more recent article than yours) and most of those aren't watch HD service, they just buy it because flatscreens look cool, and 1/4 of US households isn't alot, it'll take years before they are the majority
