Roku the most used streaming-media player

More US households use Roku devices than any other streaming-media player, Parks Associates reports. Its report states that 21% of broadband households with CE devices stream online content primarily with a streaming-media player, up from 12% last year. In addition, 65.8% of the 97.6 million American households that had broadband in the first quarter had at least one Internet-connected CE device. Only Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation are used more than Roku devices to watch streaming videos on TV sets.
