According to a report from data crunchers Parks Associates, worldwide sales of internet-connected AV kit will top 100 million units by 2013. A big number, sure, but the figure doesn't really surprise HCC, as most new kit coming to market now already has networking capabilities: TVs, Blu-ray players, games consoles, media streamers etc.

But according to Parks Associates, it’s consumer demand rather than joined-up marketing which will drive the trend forwards. ‘People want whole-home access to their personal content. At the same time, they're very interested in bringing Internet content to the television,’ says analyst Kurt Scherf.
