Pearl TV, the coalition of U.S. broadcast companies transitioning to NextGen TV, has developed a “FastTrack” program to accelerate development and retail availability of low-cost upgrade accessory receivers. The program will create a diverse market of accessories that will bring NextGen TV features to 91% of households that have displays with an HDMI input, but are not equipped with NextGen TV technology.
There are more than 120 television models that support NextGen TV at retail from Hisense, LG, Samsung and Sony. Now broadcasting in more than 50 markets reaching 55% of U.S. households, NextGen TV is expected to reach 75% of U.S. television households by the end of 2023.
