Anyways, only a 10K sample size, lmao what a joke of a survey and article.
Christ mate, don't start looking at sample bases for political poles or I guarantee you will deficate in your tidy whities.

Statistically speaking, that is a fairly significant sample.
While you're correct, it's important to remember that Apple followers are unwilling to accept anything other than iTruths approved by Apple.![]()
The only reason Apple TV is great is the ability to mirror my mac or iphone. Probably the most useful thing I have ever had for a tv.
Apple really needs to open the app store to it, it could sell so many more.
However, I am pretty sure Apple has some great game changer behind the scenes which is why they have yet to do so![]()
The question that comes to mind whenever the ATV comes up in conversation, what is so great that Apple continues to wait and wait and...
It must be vaporware if we haven't seen it by now. DOA also comes to mind.
Roku may be more popular share wise, but who wins in the revenue department? It's like the comparison between Android and iOS. Apple doesn't want to have huge marketshare and no revenue. That's always been their thing.
I know absolutely no one with a roku. I think my brother bought an LG appletv look-a-like but he never uses it
Mine also collects dust... because it doesn't have to move to do what it does. I use my Apple TV daily to watch Netflix or whatever videos I pull up on my iPad or iPhone and want to push to my home theater. Actually just ordered a second ATV for the bedroom (will actually be putting the old one in the bedroom because it's an ATV2, so the living room gets the 1080 ATV).Owning both, I can tell you AppleTV's lack of Amazon Video is what causes mine to collect dust.
If you have an Apple TV, you probably have some sort of iOS device. Just use Apple's Remote app.The ATV has many problems, in my opinion: the remote, although sleek, is too small and has a limited number of buttons (there isn't even a sleep or power button!), which themselves are hard to press and make scrolling through lists a chore
as long as the new apps keep being cable subs apps then demand won't increase.
Statistically speaking, that is a fairly significant sample.
Not necessarily true. Lots of current cable subscribers are looking for a better way to discover and access all the content they are paying for. If Apple makes a great service for this people will buy them (especially if it allows them to eliminate cable box rentals).
I'm definitely in the minority, but I actually subscribed to cable specifically for the TWC TV apps for iPad, iPhone, and Roku. I'm dying for an Apple TV version as well. Technically, they could upgrade those streams to 1080p, which would be better than cable (1080i max) and that could sell devices, too.
Story is ********.
Roku states their sales are five million.
Apple t.v. it's sitting at twelve million.

A survey of 10,000 U.S. broadband households revealed that 37% used a Roku device while 24% used an Apple TV, making Roku the most used streaming set-top box in the U.S.
Not when the math doesn't add up at the end to unit sales nor it comes close. Just look at overall sales of both devices. There are other variables besides a sample size to make something correct.
The survey is estimating which device is used in most homes, it's not estimating unit sales.

Survey is estimating which one is 'most popular' by ownership not most used.
When one does a sample survey, it's results are supposed to match closely to reality. Not in this case, which tells me the study was not done properly to cover all bases.
