The consumption of recorded television and internet-delivered programming is quickly surpassing live TV viewership, according to a TiVo report. Around two thirds of the viewing on web-connected TiVo units is now delayed television or on-demand video via broadband (OTT). The report also indicates that, of the 2 million TiVo devices, only 38 percent of viewing is live. TiVo currently provides broadband OTT access to Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus and other video options. Among those TiVo subscribers that used these services, live viewership is lower at 27 percent. The research also found that, for most of their video, consumers prefer to watch on-demand, whether it is recorded off the air, cable or satellite, or delivered via broadband.
