Cutting the Cord: Battle of the Net TV devices

Roku for now remains the market leader, says Brett Sappington, director of research at tech research firm Parks Associates. "Over one-third of households with a streaming media player have a Roku device, and adoption figures are still climbing," he said.

Over the last year and a half, Apple TV's share of the streaming media marketplace has been "no better than stable," he said. The new Apple TV will likely get "a bounce" but it must appeal beyond current owners -- who may buy the new version -- to grow its market share, he said. "Apple TV's premium price may cause many consumers to go with Roku or another less expensive option."
