Consumers Want the Best of Both Worlds: Pay TV and Over-the-Top Video


WEBWIRE



SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Consumers want their Internet TV, according to market research firm, In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). Already, based on In-Stat’s new multi-client research study, 26% of US consumer respondents report viewing Internet TV more than once per week. However, rather than a substitute for traditional pay TV services, consumers want their Over-the-Top (OTT) Internet video to compliment their traditional TV offerings.

“Consumers want the best of both worlds: Pay TV and Over-the-Top Video,” says Keith Nissen, In-Stat analyst. “Nearly 40% of consumer broadband household respondents want a combination of linear TV and on-demand TV, and nearly three quarters want to acquire all their video content from their pay TV service provider.”

The recent research by In-Stat also found the following:

* While PCs remain the primary devices used for viewing Internet TV, consumers are increasingly using multiple devices, including internet TVs, and mobile devices.
* Consumers use a variety of devices to get internet video to their TVs, including PC-based media adapters, dedicated media adapters, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and Internet-enabled TVs.
* As of Year End 2009, there are an estimated 24 million web-enabled devices in operation in the US. This is expected to grow to 102 million by 2013.

Recent In-Stat research, OTT Video Platforms, Devices, and Consumer Expectations (#IN1004654CM), presents a real-world assessment of the OTT video market opportunity, based on a combination of In-Stat’s extensive device and services databases, as well as a new primary research survey of US broadband households. The research quantifies:

* Household ownership of web-enabled consumer devices, such as Internet-enabled TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, Internet set-top boxes, PCs and portable entertainment devices;
* Current Internet TV viewing, storage and consumption behavior.
* Web-to-TV adoption.
* Web-enabled CE device requirements.
* Consumer expectations regarding the consumption of digital entertainment.
* OTT video market and content monetization opportunities.
