Picture Frame Antenna Supply Catching Up after Popular Demand ...
7/14/07 - St. Louis-based HDTV antenna manufacturer Terrestrial Digital is finally starting to breathe a sigh of relief. The PF7, the companys HDTV antenna disguised as a picture frame, is now back in stock at antennasdirect.com after three months of record breaking sales.
The company had the best type of problem on their hands beginning in December of last year. The PF7 was featured on NBCs The Today Show, alongside big screen HDTVs, the Nintendo Wii and Sonys Playstation 3, as one of the best gadget gifts for guys. The problem? Within hours of the program airing, demand went above and beyond supply. It even went beyond the product orders they had placed in anticipation of the buzz.
Its a little bit surreal to see Matt Lauer and one of the Senior Editors at CNet.com talking about your product on national television, Terrestrial Digital President Richard Schneider said.

IT Show rakes in record sales of $48 million
Gadget-crazy Singaporeans kept the cash registers at the IT Show ringing over the weekend, as vendors raked in combined sales of $48 million a record in the show's 16-year history. The top three items on most buyers' shopping list: High Definition Television (HDTV) sets, Sony Playstation 3 game consoles and laptop computers. Over four days, 718,000 people thronged the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre also a record. Last year, 630,000 people visited the show, and spent $34 million. While the desire to beat the GST hike may have prompted some purchases, general manager of organiser Eastern Directories Melvin Koh said sales of the top three items reflect the high IT penetration in Singapore society. He said some buyers were stocking up HDTV sets in anticipation of the wave of HDTV programmes set to hit the screens, while others were quick on the draw for the Sony Playstation 3 game consoles, released here last Wednesday.
Pacific Media Reports Rear Projection HDTV Sales Rise In January
Pacific Media Associates, global market information experts on large-screen displays, reports that January unit sales of rear projection HDTVs in North America outpaced Decembers record mark by 1.5 percent. By contrast, consumer flat panel sales for the same period declined by 20 percent. Their monthly RPTV Sell-Through Tracking Service also shows that the average street price tumbled nearly 10 percent in January.
We saw inventories shrink as a result of aggressive discounting, according to Rosemary Abowd, Vice President with Pacific Media. Two thirds of the models had lower average street prices than in December.
DLP models gained 19 unit sales share points to reach a dominant 70 percent market share. Online retailer sales of deeply discounted LG Electronics models played a large part in this gain.
