As I discovered with own cable set-up here in NYC, Time Warner does not actively promote that HDTV is available. It was easy to set up consisting only of a new cable box and some new cables to connect to the component video ports on my HDTV. I had to read about the potential availability through a magazine article, rather than a bill insert or even an email. I have 3 TVs with Road Runner bundled access and the premium package – you’d think I would be a prime candidate for them. Some simple promotions and customer communications would certainly assist the adoption rate…
While most households will own a high-definition-capable television set by 2008, not even half will actually be using the service. Source: Cyberatlas
