Nielsen: 1.3 Mil. More Homes Now Prepped for DTV

With 98.9 percent of American homes able to receive digital television, the DTV transition is all but complete. Since the June 12 transition, 1.3 million homes went from unprepared to prepared, according to the latest figures from Nielsen released Wednesday (July 29).

Only 1.2 million homes were unable to receive digital signals. Most unready sets are not located in central parts of the house, but in spare bedrooms, kitchens, basements, offices and garages. Income also plays a factor with 54 percent of unready homes earning less than $25,000 per year and 29 percent earning between $25,000 and $50,000.
