Washington, D.C.
(May 2, 2007) --
Sky TV, the U.K.-based satellite TV service, says it now has
244,000 High-Definition subscribers.
That represents approximately 2.8 percent of Sky's total customer base of 8,5 million subscribers. The satellite TV service launched its HDTV service about 10 months ago.
Sky said it added 60,000 high-def subscribers in the first quarter of this year and 340,000 subscribers overall (HD and non-HD combined.)
However, the net increase in the first quarter was just 51,000 due to customer churn.
Disclosure note: Phillip Swann, president of TVPredictions.com, served as a consultant to Sky TV prior to its high-def launch in 2006.
