Yet, the devices consumers prefer to use to deliver online video content to the TV varies substantially in Europe and the US. In 2017, US internet households are equally likely to be using a smart TV, Blu-ray player, streaming media player (SMP) or a pay-TV set-top box (STB) to watch online video on the TV. Over the past two years, the data shows substantial growth in the use of smart TVs, Blu-ray players, and SMPs.”
The study also revealed that the US averages between two and three TVs per household, whereas few households in Europe have more than one TV.
