Watching Movies Online: Not Ready For Primetime
29 Sept 2010


Only a handful of consumers have connected their TV sets to the Internet so that they can download or stream movies onto them, according to Npd Research.

The researchers found that 75% of U.S. consumers do not download or stream movies or TV shows at all.



Of those who do:

15% via their personal computers
6% via a video-game player
4% via a smartphone
2% via a Blu-ray Disc player or a device like Apple TV or Roku




“What we learned in our research is that while some people already experience the world in a connected way, most do not,” said Npd entertainment analyst Russ Crupnick.

we watch some movies on XBox but not that often; its too easy to watch stuff on the On-Demand channels, and we already get some movie channels like Stars, Showtime and HBO (which I am strongly considering cancelling).

I never thought I would be into it, but I *love* watching movies and TV shows with my Roku.
