Apple TV and Roku got strong ratings for their UIs, while Chromecast did poorly.
When looking for something to stream, only 12% use a service's content recommendations as their first step. However, nearly half of OTT customers who recommend their service cite being able to discover new content is one of the top 3 features.
Parks said one-fifth of people cancelling an OTT subscription did so at least partly because they couldn't find anything to watch.
