M2 - Tue May 13, 8:25AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kvfcxg/global_digital) has announced the addition of the "Global Digital Media Adaptor Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering.

Further, the report states that one of the main challenges hindering the growth of this market is the growing STB market. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Apple Inc. - Roku Inc - Western Digital Corp - Netgear Inc.
