Countries without terrestrial high-definition television

Some countries such as Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium may only broadcasts their channels in standard definition via the terrestrial airwaves. This is largely because the uptake of cable television may be higher than that of terrestrial television, thus giving broadcasters very little incentive to provide their high-definition services via the terrestrial airwaves.
