In-Stat: Worldwide PC-TV Tuners (podcast report)

Join Gerry Kaufhold and Paul Raeburn as they discuss the market for PC-TV Tuners. The market for PC-TV Tuners is quickly moving from analog to digital, driven by the increased pace of the broadcast television analog-to-digital switchover. Listen to the intro-overview below, purchase the report here and listen to all In-Stat podcast reports here.

From 2005 to 2007 digital broadcast television coverage spread rapidly in Western Europe and in the key Asian markets of Korea and Japan. These are markets with a strong tradition of watching over-the-air television programming rather than the premium services offered by cable and satellite television services.

Going forward the rate of adoption of digital PC-TV Tuners will accelerate as the large markets of China, which begins to introduce broadcast digital television during the run-up to this year’s Beijing Olympic Games, and India switchover to digital broadcast television technology.
