Study: Smart TV Owners Watching More Online Video

July 17, 2012

Three quarters of connected TV owners are using them to watch online video, according to a new report from Parks Associates.

That figure is up 30% over six months.

“The percentage of smart-TV owners connecting the device to the Internet has steadily increased, from approximately 40% in 2010 to 56% today,” said Pietro Macchiarella, research analyst for Parks Associates. “This device, when connected, offers a toehold to a variety of players, including broadcasters, over-the-top video providers and pay-TV providers.”

“Smart TVs have the potential to be both a threat and an opportunity for pay-TV providers,” said Brett Sappington, director of research for Parks Associates. “Smart TVs provide consumers another way to access over-the-top services like Netflix on the TV, providing a new distribution channel that all players can leverage to deliver content to consumers.”
