Ever forgotten to give your child batteries with their new toys? What a bummer! Well, there is a new survey that has found that many will receive a new HDTV for Christmas, yet not have the service to make the most of it.

PR Newswire reports:

The survey showed that one in four consumers has a high-definition television (HDTV) on their holiday wish lists or shopping lists. However, 88 percent of the gift-givers are not thinking about including the HD service that these sets require as part of the gift. As a result, HDTV recipients over the holidays may not experience the full benefit of high-definition picture and sound. In addition, 72 percent of survey respondents with a preference responded that receiving HD service along with an HDTV would increase the value of the holiday gift.

I figured this would be the case. It seems registrations are down this month for both DIRECTV and Dish Network. I expect them to pick up in January though as people will be wanting to make the most of their new toys!
