The TV set-top box is typically located in the living room or family room of a household in the United States. This central location is convenient for family members to access and use the device, which is often connected to the television for viewing cable, satellite, or streaming content. According to a report by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), as of 2021, approximately 75% of U.S. households owned at least one set-top box, with the majority of these being placed in the living room. The prevalence of set-top boxes in this area is due to the fact that it is where the family gathers to watch television, making it the logical place to install the device for ease of access and use. Additionally, the living room is often equipped with the necessary infrastructure, such as power outlets and cable connections, to support the operation of a set-top box.
