Today I ran into the HDblog with some interesting articles. One of these articles was the prediction for 2006 on HDTV in the homes by 2006.

A new survey from Panasonic reveals that one in four (26 percent) of U.S. households either owns or plans to own a high-definition television by the end of 2006. This is up from 15% one year ago, according to the Consumer Electronics Association.

Toshiba is in the final phase for selling the HD DVD players. HD DVD players are the next generation optical disc system. It has been targeting a Japanese market launch by the end of 2005. The designs of the HD DVD players are ready for the U.S. and Japanese market and are ready for volume production.

Besides the experience of high picture quality, HD DVD offers many advanced features, including the extensive copy protection management system of AACS (Advanced Access Content System). AACS is integrated into players and discs to secure content from illegal copying. Various industry participants are in the process of finalizing the last details for implementation of AACS.
