Parks Associates: PC and Game Consoles Extend Online Video to TV
Consumer interest for Web-on-TV applications is increasing, and consumers are rapidly making their own connection via PC and game consoles. According to Parks Associates, from 2008 to 2009, the number of U.S. households using Web-connected game consoles increased by 64%, and the number connecting a PC to a TV increased by 36%.
Over three-fourths of U.S. households with PC-to-TV connections and one-third of Xbox 360 owners are using these connections to stream online video. These households, as they extend online video and other Web experiences to the TV screen, are laying the foundation for future behaviors with connected CE and entertainment services.
This bodes well for connected Blu-ray players and networked digital media players such as Apple TV and Roku, says the article. With more consumers using these devices to stream HD videos, the demand for MoCA networks will increase as well.
