9. thority of Ireland BAI has revealed that more than 85 of the Irish population still watch audio visual content such as TV web video sites and other services like Netflix on the main television in their homes Computers or mobile devices are only used by a tiny minority to watch programmes The survey shows that only 4 6 view content on their laptops at home while smartphone or tablet computer accounted for just 1 to watch videos The research found that 96 of over 55s watch programmes at home but that number fell to 79 for 12 to 17 year olds Damian Loscher of lpsos MRBI dismissed suggestions of any great migration to computers and mobile devices He said Very often we are led to believe digital is everything but when we look at the numbers we are still very traditional in our habits The growth in smaller and more mobile devices has improved the experience of watching TV but hasn t changed it as such DIGITAL We have LCD HD and wi descreen TVs and so on so we have a far better TV ex perience in our home The experience of watching TV on a phone is still not great and is unlikely to be a great experience in the future 3G Internet Connection Several installers find themselves in the predicament of a customer requiring a system they can view via the internet from home office or smartphone and they have no wired internet connection Unfortunately this is quite common in ru
