Parks Associates (News - Alert) noted in a recent survey that adoption of streaming media players has increased to nearly 20 percent of U.S. broadband households, up from 14 percent in 2012. As of the first quarter 2014, ownership of Chromecast is holding steady at approximately 6 percent.

However, monthly usage rates for the gadget were slightly lower than the last two quarters of 2013. The percentage of Chromecast owners who use the device at least monthly to view Web pages on a TV has declined from 76 percent in 3Q 2013 to 57 percent in 1Q 2014. Similarly, the percentage of Chromecast owners who use the device at least monthly to watch online video on a TV dropped from 78 percent to 73 percent.
