Americans & TV in 2011: How They’re Watching Television [INFOGRAPHIC]

Lab42, an innovative market research start-up, published results today of a study revealing how Americans are watching TV now compared to last year.

With Hulu, YouTube, and DVRs, it is easier than ever to make sure you do not miss your favorite televisions shows. Lab42 wanted to find out whether or not Americans are actually taking advantage of these innovations or if good, old cable is still the predominant television medium.

We found that the convergence of media and technology has dramatically changed how Americans are watching TV, especially for those under the age of 30. Check out this infographic below to find out more.

Two interesting points:

1. Nearly 60% of Americans are watching MORE television shows than a year ago.

2. VCRs are still used by 13% of Americans to record programs. That amounts to more than 20 million households.
