The U.S. will have more than 103 million pay-TV households by the end of 2014, Parks Associates said in a blog post (http://bit.ly/1euMLgd). Parks Associates announced the research Thursday at CES in Las Vegas, the post said. “Remote access to DVR content was the most popular among pay-TV households without that service.” Parks found that 31 percent of pay-TV subscribers want remote DVR access, while 27 percent are interested in TV Everywhere and 26 percent want personalized recommendations, it said. Few providers aside from Dish Network offer remote access to DVR content due to licensing requirements, “and there are tremendous opportunities for companies with the right market strategies,” it said. Parks Associates will address pay-TV services and other topics at its Connections: The Premier Connected Home Conference May 13-15, in San Francisco, it said.
