Parks Reports on Digital Media Adapters

Over 15% of all Internet households in the U.S. have a stereo or TV connected to their home computer, according to Digital Media Adapters and Receivers: Analysis and Forecasts, a new study by Parks Associates. Further, 75% of households with these PC/CE connections play music on their PC through a stereo and over 40% have viewed digital photos on their TV.

"Music and imaging applications are much more important than video to these consumers," said John Barrett, director of research for Parks Associates. "People don't need a computer to watch video on their TV. However, they do need a computer if they want to view digital photos on their TV."
