The Apple TV is lagging behind its biggest rivals

When it comes to streaming set-top boxes, the Apple TV may get most of the attention, but it's not the device used by most in the US for streaming video.

According to a new study by the research firm Parks Associates, the Apple TV only accounts for 3.6% of all video streaming to televisions in the US, while its biggest rival, Roku, accounts for nearly 10% of streaming.

But even more interesting, video game consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation are the most popular streaming devices for TVs. The study broke down streaming by brand, lumping all models of the Apple TV, Roku, and video game consoles together. 

From the article "The Apple TV is lagging behind its biggest rivals" by Steve Kovach.
