From this link: http://www.worldwatch.org/node/1783
In 2002, 1.12 billion households—about three quarters of the world's people—owned at least one television set.
So as of 2002, 1/4 of the world's population doesn't own a TV set. That would be over 1.5 Billion people that don't own TV sets. Unless you can find more recent data that suggests otherwise, looks like you're wrong.
