Video Quality Troubles Continue, Viewer Tolerance Lessens

Consumers have high expectations for video quality, and they don’t differentiate or make exceptions for the delivery mechanism, according to a slate of new research. What’s more, viewers are increasingly less tolerant of any video problems they encounter.

Parks Associates surveyed consumers and found that whether TV is delivered via over-the-top, satellite, or a cable operator, they expect the same type of experience: a full-featured service and a quality user interface. Viewers won’t make apologies if the service is delivered through a set-top box or an Internet connection.

From the article, "Video Quality Troubles Continue, Viewer Tolerance Lessens" by Daisy Whitney.
