According to John, the results of this research be both good and bad news for TV manufacturers. On the positive side, still as glass screen TV at home to watch. Subscription TV services can enhance and expand the program. The bad news, TV manufacturers fail to create better TV, "The biggest problem is the confusion among the owners of the TV."
