Synopsis
The TV market will soon be changed beyond recognition, with Smart TVs capturing a larger market share week by week. The inevitable overtaking of DVD by streaming and digital download as the primary way in which households enjoy movies and TV will play out over the next decade as more and more consumers IP-enable their lounge rooms and as Hollywood makes more content available digitally, removing the earlier release window advantages that DVD still enjoys today.
