14.5 Million Consumers Thinking of Buying Net-Enabled TV in Next 12 Months
Demand for Internet-enabled televisions is growing rapidly, according to a new study by the Consumer Electronics Association. The study, Net-Enabled Video: Early Adopters Only?, found that about half of prospective TV buyers say they are likely to purchase an Internet-connected TV.
The study reveals numerous ways consumers would use an Internet-enabled TV. Nearly half (48 percent) of U.S. online adults would use their web-enabled TV to find out more information on upcoming shows and identify a song that played during the show. Forty-four percent also would use the web to find out more information about the actors featured on-screen. Having anytime-access to content, and accessing the Internet and television broadcasts together were the top benefits of an Internet-enabled TV, according to consumers.
The study also found that most adults are already online while watching TV. Almost a third of online adults (30 percent) say they always or usually surf the Internet while watching television and another third (32 percent) say they sometimes do. Consumers are increasingly willing to shift online activities to the TV. Watching online video has the highest potential conversion rate (62 percent) followed by weather updates (59 percent) and playing online games (57 percent).
Anonymous is a blatant nut case. Probably never leaves his/her house without their tin foil hat on! I think internet TV will be the only way everyone watches TV 3 years from now. The economy is forcing people to drop cable & sat service as we speak. I can get over 100 different shows for free right now on my computor and it's linked to my TV. It will just be more efficient to eliminate the external computor. Common sense to any half wit.

That's good stuff to know. The next big thing will no doubt be 3D TV as well.

I wouldn't have one of these anywhere near my house. It's well-known the NSA and FBI constantly spy on Americans' Internet and phones without needing warrants. It won't be too long before they force manufacturers to rig these TVs with hidden cameras and microphones. Big Brother will truly have the "Total Information Awareness" they've wanted for years. Welcome to 1984.
