Nearly two thirds of U.S. broadband households now have an Internet-connected TV, up from just over half last year, according to research released Thursday by The Diffusion Group, a technology and media behavior research company (http://bit.ly/1kHWiXz). The study -- based on a January survey of 1,500 adults subscribing to broadband service -- said households with a connected TV owned on average 1.6 TVs and 42 percent of connected TV owners have two or more connected TVs. “While not a simple a zero-sum game, we are nearing or at that breaking point where the growing use of broadband-based sources simply chips away at time once spent using traditional sources. This is hardly a radical argument, and made all the more inevitable given these new findings,” said Michael Greeson, TDG president and director-research.
