Earlier this week we asked how much of your home entertainment viewing is disc-based as opposed to streaming from a subscription service such as Netflix, buying/renting digital content online, or video on demand via cable or satellite. Turns out that discs play an important role for about half of survey respondents with 20% reporting all of their viewing is disc-based and 29% reporting that discs account for at least half of their viewing time. We suspect this trend to continue and even grow with the arrival of Ultra HD Blu-ray players and discs, which will likely offer a more refined viewing UHD experience than streaming.

A third of respondents said discs account for 25% or less of their viewing while 18% reported spinning discs between 25% and 50% of the time.
