The most common device is, not too surprisingly, a game console, with 23% of US households, according to Leichtman Research Group.  And according to Frank Magid Associates, 19% watch video through a Sony PS3, and 13% through a Microsoft Xbox 360.  (I know those don&#8217;t add up, I&#8217;m guessing different studies, different results, and/or overlap in the groups.)</p><p>10% of HDTVs in the US are now Connected TVs, like the <a
href="http://www.gizmolovers.com/2011/08/01/best-buy-launches-insignia-connected-tvs-featuring-tivo-design/">Insignia TiVo models launched last week</a>.  The FMA study also indicates 6% receive OTT content via TiVo or other DVRs (I&#8217;m guessing mostly TiVo, since few other DVRs offer OTT content).  Apple TV and Google TV account for 4% each, Roku nabs 3% while Slingbox and Boxee each grab 1%.  I&#8217;m not sure what Slingbox is going in there, since a Slingbox is a <i>sending</i> device, not a <i>receiving</i> device.  And the SlingCatcher surely doesn&#8217;t register.</p><p>I think the most surprising number out of all of these is that Google TV is 4%.  It is only in a handful of devices, I find it hard to believe it would have more penetration than Roku.  It just seems strange.  The <a
href="http://www.gizmolovers.com/2011/08/01/logitech-revue-google-tv-box-pricing-drops-to-99-99/">price on the Logitech Revue was slashed</a> just last week.  (Mine arrived yesterday, BTW.  I haven&#8217;t had time to set it up yet.)</p><p>Also somewhat surprising, the study says only 7% of US households have a connected Blu-ray player.  With network connectivity seemingly standard in so many players today, I&#8217;d've thought that number would be higher.  But I suppose it hasn&#8217;t been that long since the trend started.</p><p>The end result of all this?  10% of adults watch at least one video a week on their TV via one of these devices.</p><p>Via <a
