Who Makes the Top Streaming Media Player?

In fact, almost 90 percent of all streaming media devices in the U.S. are sold by these companies, according to research firm Parks ­Associates. And they each offer a choice of different models.

Stick-style players tend to cost the least, but generally have fewer features than set-top box models.
