With the proliferation of video-on-demand (VOD) and prime-time shows featuring two-screen interactivity such as voting via cell phone or Internet, many Americans are leaping into interactive television (iTV). This revolutionary shift in television viewing from a passive activity to an active one has infiltrated living rooms without most viewers realizing the potential impact of the new technology. DTV View recently conducted a survey designed to discover how consumers are using iTV currently and which possible applications are the most appealing.
Based on a survey of more than 400 U.S. adults, this DTV View report investigates:
- Who is already using VOD and two-screen iTV?
- With nearly endless possibilities for interactivity, which iTV features and functions are of greatest interest to viewers: TV-centric, PC-centric, or t-commerce?
- Which single-screen iTV applications are most likely to succeed in the U.S. marketplace?
- Which types of viewers are most likely to respond?
Results are cross-tabulated by demographic and technographic traits. Content creators, iTV technology developers, venture capitalists, and cable- and satellite-TV systems operators are among those who will be interested in the findings presented in this report. This report is 42 pages in length and contains 28 charts.List of Figures:
