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 second half of 2009:

  • Nearly eight in ten households (78.4%) have at least one television with digital TV reception (DTT, satellite, ADSL or cable).
  • Nearly half of households (47.7%) are fully digital, that is to say that all TVs have been converted to digital reception.
  • About one in eight households (12.9%) still receives television via analogue terrestrial, a decrease of 9.5 points in one year.
  • 48.3% of households have chosen DTT. DTT remains, mainly because it is free, the engine of growth for digital reception.
