I must say I haven't collected the data about TV-server versions, even though that info is on the same page as all the other data. Your suggestion is an interesting statistic if I ever do a follow-up research. I will keep it in mind!

Do I understand right that you would like to see the amount of people that (can) see widescreen SDTV (low-res) versus widescreen HDTV? The numbers actually turned out more intersting than I thought. Here are the widescreen users, split up by display type:
LCD: 58%
CRT: 14%
Plasma: 13%
Projector: 9%
Rear projection: 6%
If you compare these numbers with the overall numbers, you see that the number of CRT users is a lot lower, but the number of LCD users is about the same. (The other numbers are too low to say much.) This means that the 4:3 / widescreen ratio for LCD's is about the same as overall, but for CRT's the ratio is very high. The explaination is probably that LCD includes the people using MP on a 4:3 LCD computer monitor, while the lion's share of CRT users uses a 4:3 display.

Now, if I assume that CRT and rear-projection are SDTV, and LCD, plasma and projector are HDTV, you get the following numbers:
WS SDTV: 20%
WS HDTV: 80%

Info on remotes I have! Watch out for next episode...
