Amazon just soared past Apple in the streaming TV market

Amazon's Fire TV set-top box is more popular than Apple TV, according to the latest survey from Parks Associates. Roku, however, is still the king of the digital streaming space.

Parks Associates looked at general media device sales in the United States over the past year, and found that Roku, Google, Amazon, and Apple accounted for 86% of the overall market.

Of those four brands, the firm notes that Roku and Google's Chromecast dominated the market in 2014, accounting for 34% and 24% of the US streaming market respectively.
