The findings are based on a survey of 1,214 households throughout the United States. Other findings indicate:
- 77% of ages 18-24 stream an SVOD service monthly, compared to 63% of ages 25-44, 50% of ages 45-54, and 23% of ages 55+.

- 74% of all telco video subscribers and 61% of all cable subscribers have ever used VOD from their current provider.

"In 2005, 25% of cable subscribers had ever used VOD, 8% of all households had a DVR, and about 4% of households subscribed to Netflix's DVD-by-mail movie delivery service. These services have significantly evolved over the past decade," wrote Bruce Leichtman, president and principal analyst for LRG. "Today, over 80% of households get at least one of these services, and in recent years Netflix and other streaming SVOD offerings have expanded the use and popularity of on-demand TV."
