Additional reference information.

Connected TV in these stats is probably principally games consoles. At least the PS3 had all the streams.

All 24 streams were available on FTA satellite (Sky, Freesat and general satellite receivers should have been able to get it) and cable although these won't have been captured in these stats. Two of the streams were also available by terrestrial.

Aproximately 11 million homes have satellite (10M Sky and 1M Freesat and other). 4M Virgin cable and maybe 500K using telco IPTV. Terrestrial (Freeview) is the main service in about 10M homes and is used for second TVs in a number more.

There may be some double counting in these figures and they are from memory and it hasn't been my job to know them for over a year.
