Awash with streaming video? Survey says you’re not alone

In the second year of a [Frank N. Magid Associates] survey about streaming-video behavior in the US, 83 percent of respondents say they stream TV and movies at home, up from 74 percent last year. Nearly all “millennials” — people aged between 18 and 34 — are streaming at home: 90 percent. Frequency of streaming is going up, too. The survey found 61 percent of people stream at home weekly, up from 44 percent in 2013. Among young people, the jump was greater: 72 percent of people under 35 years old report streaming weekly, 20 points higher than last year […] So far, the attraction to streaming is not at the expense of live television. When asked what options they consider after deciding to watch TV shows or movies in the evening, the same percentage of respondents — 67 percent — reported live programming as their most common consideration. But streaming was second at 45 percent, a slight increase. The format that suffered was DVR, dropping 7 points as a consideration for primetime video viewing. – Joan E. Solsman,CNET
