Some new research on the interest in connected home: Nearly three out of four (72%) U.S. consumers say they are interested in a product that would easily connect their home entertainment systems to the Internet, according to a survey by Ipsos-Insight.
Digital Den-type products are typically referred to generically as media hubs, wired-Ethernet media players, and wireless digital media players, with product names like Fireball, Soundblaster, Macsense HomePod and Turtle Beach AudioTron At-100, just to name a few. Some products connect stereos with Internet music files, other products link TVs to Internet movie files, and a few do both.
The majority of people interested in Digital Den products say they would spend around $50 to $200 to connect their home entertainment systems, which is roughly what they would pay for a DVD player or video game console.
