France’s Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel (CSA) has reported latest results from its survey on the penetration of digital TV in French households.

Highlights for the first half of 2009:

  • More than seven in ten households (70.3%) have at least one television with digital TV reception (DTT, satellite, ADSL or cable).
  • Nearly four in ten households (39%) are fully digital, that is to say that all TVs have been converted to digital reception.
  • Less than one in five households (17.2%) receives television via analogue terrestrial, a decrease of 11.9 points in one year.
  • 43.1% of households have chosen DTT. DTT remains, mainly because it is free, the engine of growth for digital reception.
