Nearly 85 percent of all households have a digital TV connection, Telecompaper reports. There are 3.68 million cable subscribers with analogue TV connection. Telecompaper estimated the sale income for the consumer TV market as €393 million in the second quarter, a small difference from the first quarter of 2013.
