Browsing the Net Whilst Watching TV More Popular than Ever Says New Report - By: Paddy Chang

The Nielsen Three Screen Report shows that concerns well-nigh the internet shoot down off tv are way off the mark, and in fact the internet is development tv audiences. “The initial fear was that Internet and mobile tv and entertainment would slowly cannibalize traditional TV viewing, but the steady trend of add-ond TV viewership aboard expanded simultaneous usage argues something quite different,” said Matt O’Grady, Nielsen media product leader.

The report covers Q4 of 2009, which tracked viewing across TV, the Internet and mobile phones, found a 35% rise in the quantity of time Americans used the TV and Internet simultaneously compared with the same quarter in 2008.

The report found that Americans now watch about 35 hours of TV per week and two hours of time-shifted TV via video recorders (DVR), with 25 to 34-year-olds devising more use of time-shifting than any other age Grouping. This follows on from a report from Ipsos showing Canadians surf the net more than watch tv.

Although viewers of internet tv are constantly growing, the honcho Operating Officer of Comcast does not see any threat from online tv at this time. Steve Burke was speaking in an interview at the All Things Digital conference and was bullish about the future of the tv landscape.

He said:- “The fact of the matter is, and it’s a little counter-intuitive … that quarter by quarter, year by year, the number of people subscribing to what we call multi-channel video, whether it’s satellite, telephone service, or cable, has always gone up. It’s never gone down.” He continued:- “there is very little certify that people are giving up their subscription television.”

He concedes that video consumption will grow and new methods of delivery such as the iPad, Smartphones and Google TV will grow, he does not expect that those services will overtake the traditional pay TV services go gameed by Comcast and other cable providers. Instead, he said those services will remain complementary to what pay TV providers offer.

“It’s likely to be more devices, more things in more devices, but at the end of the day, it’s clearly in a program company’s interests to have a cable company or a satellite company or a telephony company paying them affiliate fees for their programming,” he said..

So, you’re fed up with paying outrageous cable bills, and are ready to make the switch to watching TV on your computer. Before you do there is something you need to know: Not all satellite services are created equal. In fact, most television for PC services are downright terrible. With poor picture quality, outdated software, lousy customer service, and limited access to the channels you really want to see, many satellite for PC providers just aren’t worth making the switch.

That’s where Satellite Direct comes in.

In fact, a living of live internet tv costs about half of what you would pay for just one month of wish service from your current cable or satellite provider. Why pay over $100 a month for cable? For a one time price of just $49.95, you can have 24/7 access to thousands of channels- with no hidden fees, ever.
