New findings for MOTION reveal that younger Americans are driving growth in many digital video activities, including TV show downloading. 10% of young adults aged 18 to 34 (14% of 18- to 24-year-olds and 7% of 25- to 34-year-olds) have downloaded television programs from the Internet and 7% have done so in the past month—nearly double the rate of television downloading overall.

• 18% of Americans aged 12 and older have watched music videos streamed online (~41 million) and as many as 32 million have downloaded video games to their PCs (14%).
• Downloading full-length motion pictures is still a niche activity (just 3% of Americans have ever done this).
• Males continue to lead females in most digital video technology ownership, including downloading television.
• Overall, 27% of portable MP3 players have the ability to play video, a number that has been steadily increasing over the past year; 5% of MP3 player owners have paid to download television programs from the Internet versus only 1% of those who do not own MP3 players.
• 1 in 10 Americans aged 12 and older has downloaded music videos (10%) and a similar proportion has downloaded movie trailers (9%).
