Roku is currently the No. 1 connected-TV device brand in the U.S., topping
Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV in terms of total users, according to a new study
from research firm eMarketer.
In 2017, 38.9 million Americans will use a Roku at least once per month, up 19% over last year,
eMarketer estimates. Chromecast comes in second with 36.9 million users, followed by Amazon Fire
TV with 35.8 million.
Apple TV comes in a distant fourth: The tech giant’s internet set-top device will have 21.3 million
users. Over the next few years, Apple TV will continue to lag further behind its three rivals, eMarketer
projects.
One big roadblock for Apple TV is its premium pricing. The fourth-generation Apple TV devices
currently start at $150, whereas Google, Amazon and Roku each sell streaming sticks priced below
$40.

12. TV SUBSCRIPTIONS VS CINEMA SALES
Source - https://www.androidheadlines.com/2018/12/subscription-video-vs-cinema-revenue-2019.html
In 2019, subscription video services, on a global scale are
predicted to overtake theaters for the first time in terms of
revenue. This is based on the latest report from Ampere
Analysis which looked to compare the changes in
subscription-based revenue over the last few years in
comparison to revenue associated with cinema attendance.
Ampere Analysis notes that although cinema revenue has
remained consistent over the last few years (with the data
actually showing an increase compared to a decade ago),
revenues from subscriptions has increased massively and
at a rate where 2019 will see the figure surpass cinema for
the first time.
In terms of the numbers, Ampere Analysis expects
subscription video on demand (SVOD) to generate close to
$46 billion in 2019 and this will compare to the near $40
billion managed by theaters during the same period. The
research and conclusions are based on data collected from
fifteen international markets.

13. NEW STREAMING APPLICATION
• “Those high-profile moves include, most recently, the hiring of ABC executive Channing Dungey, who will oversee half the streamer’s
scripted originals as well as a large portion of overall deals, including working with the Obamas and Shonda Rhimes; and Chris Nee,
the Peabody-winning creator of Disney Junior preschool hits Doc McStuffins and Vampirina, who jumped ship to Netflix after Alex
Hirsch, who created Gravity Falls for Disney, did the same. Netflix is even getting more serious about consumer products, where
Disney is a dominant presence among its entertainment peers, and it hired Disney veteran Christie Fleischer to head up the effort.
• Not surprisingly, Disney's forthcoming streamer, Disney+, should include some Marvel original shows, and that apparently irked
Netflix, which retaliated by canceling three of its five Marvel dramas — Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil, while the future of the
remaining two, The Punisher and Jessica Jones, appears bleak.
• While Netflix has a huge first-mover advantage over Disney+, the economics going forward favor Disney, which can more easily scale
its shows and movies across the entertainment ecosystem while Netflix spends wildly to basically populate its own platform.
• "There are so many competitors," CEO Reed Hastings said during an earnings call in October with reporters. "Of course, Disney is
going to enter, AT&T is going to expand HBO, YouTube is just on fire growing around the world, video gaming like Fortnite, I mean
there's so many ways to have great entertainment on a screen."”

15. STREAMING STOCK TO WATCH
Source - https://investorplace.com/2018/02/3-streaming-video-stocks-to-buy-that-are-not-named-netflix/#.Wp0Mt-jwZPY
• Social media giant Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) seems like an obvious pick here. The company is a
global internet platform with 2 billion-plus monthly active users, making it the largest over-the-top content
distribution platform in the world. In this sense, all Facebook has to do to partake in the streaming video
growth narrative is put a streaming service on its app.
• YouTube TV is Google’s direct-to-consumer cable alternative. You pay a set monthly bill ($35) for
access to 40-plus live-streaming channels (including all the big ones, like ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX,
ESPN and FX). You also get unlimited cloud DVR space, 6 accounts per household, and can watch
from a phone, tablet, TV or computer.
• Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) has been at the wrong end of this whole cord-cutting trend for some
time. The company owns a massive media business that has been adversely affected by lower
traditional TV viewership. But Disney still owns some of the best content in the world. Think
ESPN, ABC, Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar. In totality, Disney’s content portfolio is quite robust and
it has very high demand. The problem was that Disney was pushing this content through
traditional TV channels. But everyone is cutting the cord, so the company was pushing all this
high-demand content through low-demand channels.

26. NEW TECHNOLOGY – HOSTING / TV
Mynewsdesk.com – April 10, 2017
Set Top Box
Set Top Box market is expected to reach $24.3 billion by 2022. The market for set top box is
driven by increasing demand for High Definition (HD) channels, digitization of TV
broadcasting, government regulations, technological advancements in television, and increasing
demand for higher picture quality. Furthermore, better quality of signal transmission,
introduction of pause and play facility, live streaming by internet users, smart phones and
tablets are the add ups for the market growth. High initial costs and package costs of pay
channels are limiting the market growth.

28. CYBERSECURITY AND ANDROID BOXES

Download-Hack-Streaming
Hackers can take control of your computer,
smartphone, tablet or smart TV by manipulating
subtitle text files, security company Check Point has
claimed.
The subtitle files can be manipulated to take control of
a wide-range of devices running the hugely-
popular Kodi media player software.
Media players VLC, Popcorn Time and Stremio are
also vulnerable to the hackers, Check Point confirmed.
These media players have a combined userbase that
runs into the hundreds of millions.
Subtitle files for movies and televisions can be created
by a range of writers and uploaded to online
repositories, such as OpenSubtitles.org.
These files will typically contain some HTML or Java
code – so the subtitle texts are displayed on-screen in
certain ways.
Option #1 -Only buy boxes from brand

Option #2 – Set up VPN

29. SUMMARY
• More and more content will exist either by free streaming services or fees based
• Android box continues to grow but the bulk of the market is controlled by Roku, Amazon
and Google. There are many small players which over time will disappear as
consolidation happens in the market place.
• Streaming is about the application. Illegal content is being targeted by both Media
Companies and Broadband Carriers.
• More and more broadcaster will move their content to cloud as part of providing both
free as well as chargeable services.
• Advertising will also change as more and more companies will look at different ways to
leverage digital media as part of reaching their customers.
