A staggering majority of UK consumers are not getting the best out of their high-definition (HD) televisions, according to a survey. Although 56% of UK households now have an HD television, 91% still watch standard DVDs and get their television through standard set-top boxes. Full HD broadcasting can be viewed from Sky, Virgin and Freesat but will eventually be available on Freeview. For full HD, films must be played on an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player.
Games consoles that some consumers have already offer HD content. Sony's PlayStation 3 already has a Blu-Ray player built in, and the next versions of Microsoft's XBox 360 and Nintendo's Wii are rumoured to include Blu-Ray as well. However, the survey of 2000 adults showed 81% admitted to not getting the best from any of the hi-tech gadgets around their homes - from mobiles to laptops.
That means that many consumers who have all the technology in hand to view full HD may not be setting up the devices and the cables properly to do so.

Sci-fi fantasy Avatar, the first feature film from director James Cameron since Titanic, has had its public premiere in London. Cameron joined stars Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana to meet fans in Leicester Square ahead of the gala screening. The film is set in the 22nd Century on a distant planet, Pandora, inhabited by a humanoid race with its own culture. Reports have suggested the movie cost more than $200m (£123m) to make. Cameron conceived the story for it in 1995, and then waited a decade for technology to catch up so he could film it.
It mixes live action and computer animation to create a vivid, 3D alien world where humans, who cannot breathe the air, have created avatars - hybrid creatures controlled via a mental link - to explore the planet. The opening 15 minutes of the film were screened around the world earlier this year to help set expectations for the extravagant epic. Early reports were mixed - with some people finding the CGI sequences, featuring blue humanoid characters, off-putting. One critic dubbed the film "Dancing With Smurfs".
Although critics have now seen the completed work, Film Company 20th Century Fox has placed an embargo on reviews until 14 December. But Cameron, 55, is unlikely to be worried - having proved critics wrong in the past.
