Who's Watching TV Online? Not Many

While unions and studios continue wrangling over how revenue from Internet screenings of TV shows and movies should be divvied up, a new national survey commissioned by Entertainment Weekly magazine indicates that hardly anyone is watching shows online. The survey concluded that just 1 percent of viewers most often view TV shows by downloading or streaming them.

Another 9 percent watch shows via their DVRs later in the day, while 14 percent do so later in the week.
