News: HDTV Owners Love New TV, Dislike Programming

According to new study from Nielsen, HDTV owners are generally satisfied with the picture quality of the programming they receive.

However, the figures also show those same owners are less than thrilled about HD programming choices currently available.

About 85% of the queried HD households ranked picture quality as "above average" or "excellent" while only 39% gave those ratings to programming selections.

The study also found owners who frequently watch HDTV at home gave the following responses about the types and networks they watched most for each:

Sports (42.8%) - Most watched ESPN HD
Movies (38.0%) - Most watched HBO HD
Scripted Dramas (28.1%) - Most watched CBS HD
Documentaries (23.8%) - Most watched Discovery HD
Scripted Comedies (19.4%) - Most watched CBS HD
Reality Programming (11.1%) - Most watched Fox HD
Music (9.6%) - Most watched PBS HD
