Smart TVs Top Streaming Preference: Study

[A]ccording to a new survey from TDG that queried 2,000 U.S. adult broadband users, of which 60% use an over-the-top streaming service on their home TVs. Smart TVs, at 32.1%, was the most preferred platform, followed by game consoles (25.1%), Internet set-top boxes (16.8%), Internet sticks (9.9%), connected Blu-ray players (9.7%), and DVRs (2.4%). Just over 4% had no preference. [...] But being the most preferred option doesn’t necessarily translate to the most-used option. And recent studies have come to different conclusions. A Parks Associates Research study released late last year found that gaming consoles were the top TV-connected devices used for accessing online video, followed by smart TVs, streaming media players, connected DVRs and Blu-rays. - Jeff Baumgartner, Multichannel News [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
