High Definition HDTV
Market research suggests that more than 4.5 million households in Europe will switch on to HDTV by 2008.

HDTV gives superior quality images compared with standard definition TV images, but they need to be filmed on special cameras. The HDTV market is associated with expensive flat-panel televisions. But HD signals can also be received for about one-third of the price on HD-capable cathode ray tube sets, which are forecast to form the bulk of sales in Europe.

Viewers also have to buy an HD-compatible set-top box.
