More US households use Roku than Apple TV to stream video

The number of US broadband households with a streaming video media device, such as a Roku or an Apple TV, has doubled since 2011, reaching 14 percent in 2013, according to new research from Parks Associates. Among households with a streaming video media device, 37 percent primarily use a Roku compared to 24 percent that primarily use an Apple TV. Parks Associates analysts predict the number of connected TV devices sold worldwide will reach 330 million annually by 2017, almost double the number to be sold in 2013. Average product prices will device over this time, but annual sales revenues will increase almost 100 percent by 2017 as more households buy smart TVs, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and streaming video media devices. The report is a result of an independent survey of 10,000 US broadband households.
