Satellite On Pc Software - Pc Video Watchers And Software Users On The Rise As Tv Video Still On Top
According to Ipsos MediaCT, a leader in Research, Opinion and Insights, television still tops but PC video watching is growing. So what does this have to do with Satellite on PC software packages? This too is part a PC video watching trend that keeps growing across the globe each year. A recent study showed the PC is gaining ground on television. Among U.S. video downloaders and streamers, there was a 5% drop-off in the amount of TV-set video consumed. During February 2008, it dropped to 70% compared to 75% in 2007.
While Oldteevee still remained as the top video watch-dog for most people, it dropped as watching-video-on-PC increased. In fact, the latter showed a 19% increase in 2008 compared to 11% in 2007. One could take this information with some insight as to what lies ahead for cheaper Satellite TV software products compared to paid television as the economy continues to head in downward spiral.
The other news showed that Americans ages 12 and older streamed/downloaded video media about one out of every five hours to their computers. In fact, there was a rise in PC video watching among all age groups (12-17, 18-24, 25-34, 35-54, and 55+). With television as the first choice for video media and PC second, statistics clearly showed more video was accessed by computers among the first three age groups at 24%, 27%, and 21% when compared to the last two age groups. Television video of course was significantly higher.
These figures clearly show an increase in the youth movement towards online movies, TV media, music videos, video games, YouTube, etc. In addition, it can be said that video watching is pretty much home-based right now. But teens were found to have the highest use of video portability with the likes of laptop and hand-held computers, as well as cell phones with an Internet connection. However, mobile phones used for videos showed no significant increase at 1%.
When looking at social networks such as MySpace that include video and now has gone mobile, as well as top search engines like Google and Yahoo, the video trend continues to head in an upward video swing--whether it is for a profit or fun. Internet video media has become easier to access as well as create giving kids and adults creative things to do, whether good or bad.
When weighing in a slow economy, high costs, video youth movement, mobility, and portability compared to traditional television, including Satellite/Cable TV, Satellite on PC software for the low price somehow makes up for whatever is lacking at home. Although free Internet media accessed through software automates playing premium, HDTV, and on-demand channels, it doesn't provide Satellite/Cable television programming. Instead, it may provide the next best thing. With an easy to use well organized interface and no tech know-how needed, this type of gateway to Internet media makes it more appealing to newbies. And perhaps becoming the bridge that closes a web to PC video gap.
When summarizing this information it gives a general idea what is ahead in the coming months. More and more large television networks are streaming free popular TV episodes, sports, movies, Worldwide news, and other media to the Internet and with that comes more advertising. Whether or not Internet ads and commercials will decrease the enjoyment of live/recorded Internet media is somewhat unknown. But in all likelihood, it will.
As more computers with broadband connections continues to grow among households so will Internet TV media players installed in them. Their popularity have grown immensely with the likes of Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Quicktime Player, and Satellite TV player. This will indeed add to a remarkable Internet video industry that continues to grow at an alarming rate.
