61.9% of UK households now have some kind of digital TV, or at least that's what communications regulator OfCom reckon. 643,517 households got digital TV in the first quarter of this year, bringing to total number of digital viewers to 14.32 million. That figure breaks down into 5 million odd on Freeview, about half a million on free-to-air satellite, over 7 million on Sky and 2.5 million on cable.
This will boost government hopes that they can turn off analogue TV signals in a few years time - though I'm pretty sure most of those 14.32 million households have second and third TVs in them still receiving analogue TV signals, which is something no one ever seems to talk about when considering the ending of analogue TV broadcasts.
