20% of families watching digital TV
*

More than 20% of Hong Kong families, or about 500,000 households, are watching digital terrestrial television via set-top boxes, integrated digital TV sets or computers, up 30% on the 15.6% take-up rate at the end of July.

 

Deputy Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development (Communications & Technology) Alan Siu released the results of the survey conducted jointly by the Government and the two free-to-air television broadcasters at the High-Definition AV Exhibition 2008 today.

 

Mr Siu said the Government will work closely with broadcasters to expedite the construction of transmission stations to extend digital television coverage from 75% to 100%, and enhance promotion to boost public understanding of its benefits.

 

Digital broadcasting improves reception, removes perennial problems like ghosting and snowing, and provides brand-new audio-visual enjoyment, multi-channel programming and value-added services like electronic programme guides, multi-lingual broadcasting, closed captioning, datacasting and interactive television services.
