C
29、onsumers have bought HDTVs to play their DVDs and to have clearer pictures and wide screens. Only a small percentage of the people who have purchased HDTVs, however, have actually hooked their TVs up to receive high-definition television digital signals. Perhaps television viewers are having trouble
30、 keeping up with the changes in technology. Even the manufacturers of HDTVs, like Mitsubishi, Thomson Multimedia, Sony, and Samsung seem to have a tough time learning how to make their sets work with the various digital TV formats because little standardization has been required or implemented in th

This is known as a white-glove service and usually comes with an extra fee. After HDTV purchasers get their sets home and hook them up, they will s
32、till need to work to get the digital signals to their systems. Most of the industrys cable providers do not yet offer highdefinition programing, and only about 15% of commercial television stations have switched over to even the lowest improved digital pictures. Worse yet, viewers may need to instal
33、l antenna before they can even get the digital signals to their new HDTV sets. Another frustration for home-theater seekers is that the current HDTV sets allow owners only to watch high-definition programs, not to record them.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the first sentence, the sales of HDTV sets since

Williams said Thursday he understands that critics could find the arrang
40、ement unethical,but “I wanted to do it because its something I believe in.“ The top Democrat on the House Education Committee, Rep.

41、y USA TODAY through a Freedom of Information Act request, also shows that the Education Department, through the Ketchum public relations firm, arranged with Williams to use contacts with Americas Black Forum, a group of black broadcast journalists, “to encourage the producers to periodically address
42、“ NCLB. He persuaded radio and TV personality Steve Harvey to invite Paige onto his show twice.
