Consumer Electronics (CE) devices connected to the Internet-more than 425 million-now outnumber people in America, NPD Group reports.

So far, much of the impact has been positive. Better, smarter, larger HDTV sets have encouraged more TV viewing, while the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets has opened up new opportunities for consumers to watch programming.
