Sounds like selective memory issues again, eh Craig? You provided 4 references,
all but one of which said quite clearly that PCs were the most used devices.
One of the references only mentioned the lesser boxes, and ignored the most
used ones, because they did not classify PCs and laptops as CE devices. You
really need to improve your reading skills, Craig.

A few years ago connecting a desktop or laptop PC to the TV was probably the
best way to access streaming video from the Internet

You are certainly free to go back and check the dates, Craig. And then explain
why you think the data are obsolete.

The article you posted was concentrated on connected TVs. It does say that as
online streaming became more popular, many previous PC users are using their
connected TVs directly, instead of PC OR OTHER peripheral devices, as the more
convenient solution. The PC is still the most used single device, however. No
one seems to dispute this fact (except Craig). You have to be careful with what
stats are overall, vs growth/decline percentages.
